Specify the variety, size or grade, ripeness stage, packaging format, and quantity. Add your preferred origin, delivery location, and the shipment window.

How do I compare wholesale plum offers?

Compare offers on the same variety, size grade, packaging, delivery terms, and payment terms. Align the weight or carton count and ensure the quality standards are equivalent.

Evaluate the sample for firmness, sugar content, and skin condition, and compare it with your specification. Check that the sample represents the shipment and retain it for reference.

How can I check a plum supplier before signing a contract?

What to look for when sourcing plum

Product specification

A dessert plum for retail and a processing plum for jam have different requirements. Start with the intended end use and variety.

Variety & ripeness

Specify the variety, harvest window, and ripeness stage at harvest (e.g., firm for shipping or ripe for immediate sale).

Size & grade

Agree on size (caliber or count per box), skin finish, and allowable defects such as blemishes or splits. Grade definitions vary by packer.

Form & packaging

Confirm whether you need fresh whole fruit, and agree on packaging format (e.g., cartons, trays) and net weight per unit.

Quality acceptance

Plum quality is judged on both appearance and eating quality. Agree on how the sample will be assessed and how it links to the shipment.

Condition at delivery
Set acceptable firmness, sugar content (Brix), and freedom from bruising or decay at the time of arrival. Use a defined scale for firmness.
Sample assessment
Agree on how the sample will be evaluated (sensory and visual) and whether it represents the shipment. Assess a sample from the actual lot when possible.
Acceptance & claims
Define how the shipment will be inspected at arrival, including sampling method and claim deadlines for quality discrepancies.

Origin requirements

Plum quality and availability are tied to the growing region and season. Clarify how specific you need to be about origin.

Region & traceability

Request the growing region and orchard or packhouse identity, if needed for traceability or marketing claims.

Season & availability

Ask which varieties are in season and whether the fruit is available now or for a future shipment. Off-season supply may come from other hemispheres.

Substitutions

For repeat orders, define which varieties or origins you can accept as substitutes without changing the intended use.

Commercial terms

Plum offers can be quoted per carton or per kilogram, depending on origin and pack style. Compare the final cost on the same delivery and quality basis.

Price basis: Confirm whether the price is per unit, per weight, or per carton, and state the currency and unit of measure.
Delivery terms: Specify Incoterms such as FOB at origin or DAP at destination, and who covers cold chain, freight, and insurance.
Order terms: Match the shipment period, payment terms, and quote validity. Ensure they align with the harvest and transport season.

Documentation & compliance

Check documentation before committing to shipment. The evidence needs to cover the plum lot you are buying, not just the supplier's business.

Shipment documents: Align lot references, weights, and entities across the invoice, packing list, transport document, and any phytosanitary certificate.
Certification: For organic or other scheme-certified plums, check the current certificate scope and the transaction evidence required for the lot.
Destination rules: Confirm any import requirements at the destination, such as phytosanitary treatments or labeling, and what data the supplier must provide.

Supplier capability

A grower, packhouse, exporter, and import merchant may each control a different part of the purchase. Establish who is accountable for your order.

Packing & cold chain
Identify who handles washing, grading, packing, and cold storage, and who resolves a quality failure during transit.
Seasonal supply
Ask how the supplier maintains quality across the season and which varieties or volumes it can offer in your required window.
Order fit
Confirm minimum order quantity, sample availability, and any export support. For smaller orders, ask about consolidating with other buyers.
