What to look for when sourcing onion

Product specification

A fresh onion for retail display and one for food service slicing need different specifications. Start with the intended use and market.

Variety & type

Specify yellow, red, or white onions, and whether you need a specific variety for storage, sweetness, or pungency.

Size & pack

Agree on diameter range, count per bag, pack style (e.g., mesh, carton), and whether onions are loose or pre-packed.

Season & storage

Confirm whether the onions are from the current crop or stored, as this affects firmness and shelf life.

Quality acceptance

Onion quality is judged by appearance, firmness, and internal condition, not just size. Set clear tolerance levels for defects.

External inspection
Set limits for blemishes, bruising, sprouting, and sunken necks. Check that the skin is dry and papery.
Internal checks
Cut samples to check for doubling (double centers), thick necks, or internal rot, which are not visible externally.
Acceptance & claims
Identify offer, pre-shipment, and arrival sampling. Retain the approved sample and agree inspection responsibilities and claim deadlines.

Origin requirements

Beyond the country name, define the level of origin detail you need for food safety, quality, or marketing claims.

Traceability

Request growing region, farm or cooperative details, and lot identification for each consignment.

Harvest & supply window

Ask when the onions were harvested and when they can be shipped, as fresh produce is seasonal.

Acceptable alternatives

For continuous supply, define which origins or varieties you can substitute without changing quality or use.

Commercial terms

Fresh onion prices vary with grade, season, and delivery terms. Compare offers on the same basis to avoid hidden costs.

Pricing unit: Agree whether the price is per bag, per kilogram, or per ton, and specify the currency.
Delivery basis: Confirm whether the price is FOB at origin, CIF at the destination port, or delivered to your warehouse. Align transport and storage costs.
Order terms: Match pack weight, quantity tolerance, shipment period, payment terms, and quote validity.

Documentation & compliance

Check what documents you need for border clearance and any retail or public procurement requirements.

Basic documents: Align lot references, weights, and entities across the commercial invoice, packing list, and transport document.
Health and plant health: Ask the supplier for the phytosanitary certificate and any other origin health or plant-health records required by the destination country.
Other certifications: If you need organic or GlobalG.A.P. certification, check the current scope and evidence for the specific lot.

Supplier capability

A grower, packer, exporter, or importer may control different parts of the onion supply chain. Establish who is accountable for your order.

Packing & cold chain
Identify who cleans, grades, packs, and stores the onions, and how they maintain cool chain during transit. Also, clarify who handles cold chain failures.
Volume & consistency
Ask the supplier about their capacity to repeat orders throughout the season and how they manage quality across different batches.
Order fit
Confirm minimum order, sample provision, and logistics support. For smaller orders, ask about shared containers or consolidation.
