What to look for when sourcing mixed nuts and dried fruit
Product specification
The buying brief for a raw ingredient for further processing differs from a snack-ready mix. Start with the intended use, which drives how you define the product.
Form & style
Specify the commodity form: whole, shelled, blanched, roasted, salted, chopped or ground. For dried fruit, specify whole, pieces, diced or paste.
Grade & size
Agree a count per ounce for almonds, a screen size for pistachios or a length-width range for cashew pieces. For dried fruit, define the cut size or moisture content appropriate to the use.
Process & finish
Confirm whether the product is raw, oil- or dry-roasted, how salt is applied and whether any sweetener or oil is added. For fruit, note if sulphur dioxide or other preservatives are used.
Quality acceptance
Quality for nuts and dried fruit is a mix of physical and taste attributes. Agree how both will be judged against the sample.
Sensory evaluation
Set the expected taste, texture and aroma. For nuts, test for rancidity and off-flavors; for fruit, check for correct sweetness, chewiness and any fermentation notes.
Physical condition
Define acceptable moisture, color, insect damage, foreign matter and percentage of pieces or broken kernels. For fruit, include mold, stickiness and flesh integrity.
Acceptance & claims
Identify offer and shipment samples. Specify the lot inspection process and what constitutes a valid quality claim after arrival.
Origin requirements
Origin affects flavor and supply reliability. You must decide how specific you need to be versus what the market can offer.
Preferred origins
Request the producing country or region, such as California for almonds or Iran for pistachios. Agree whether a single origin is required or a blend is acceptable.
Crop & stock
Ask about harvest season and whether the product is from the current crop or older inventory. Confirm if it is available immediately or on a forward contract.
Substitution flexibility
For a repeat spec, define which origins or varieties you can substitute without changing the final product's character or performance.
Commercial terms
Pricing for nuts and fruit can be quoted per pound or kilogram and varies with form and season. Compare offers on the same product specification and delivery terms.
- Price basis
- Confirm the quoted currency, unit of weight, and the quality or grade the price covers. For forward delivery, agree how the price may adjust if the market moves.
- Delivery terms
- Specify the incoterm: ex-warehouse, FOB, CIF or delivered duty-paid. Factor in shipping, insurance, cold storage and any in-bound inspection costs.
- Order specifics
- Match packaging type, net weight per bag or carton, pallet configuration and the shipment window. Confirm the minimum order and potential for consolidation.
Documentation & compliance
Documentation must prove the product's identity, origin and compliance for your destination market. Align records with the actual lot you receive.
- Lot documents
- Align product descriptions, lot codes and weights across the invoice, packing list, transport document and certificate of origin.
- Certification
- For organic, kosher or other scheme-labeled goods, request the current certificate and transaction-specific documentation covering that product lot.
- Destination rules
- For EU-bound shipments, verify that lot-level traceability data covers the product's growing area and that you can meet phytosanitary and food-safety requirements.
Supplier capability
Growers, processors and import traders each control different steps. Establish who is accountable for the product you receive.
Processing control
Identify who shells, roasts, sorts and packs, and who maintains cold storage. Determine who handles a quality complaint about your lot.
Repeat supply
Ask how the supplier manages harvest variation and which crops or origins it can offer as substitutes while keeping your required spec.
Order fit
Confirm minimum quantities, sample provision and documentation support. For small volumes, ask about combining from multiple origins or using a distributor.
