What to look for when sourcing raisins and sultanas
Product specification
A retail pack and an industrial ingredient need different buying briefs. Start with the intended use and final product.
Variety & type
Specify the grape variety and whether you need raisins, sultanas, or currants, and the processing method such as natural sun-drying or oil-dipped.
Grade & size
Agree on the grade standards, berry size distribution, and acceptable defects like stems, capstems, or foreign material.
Moisture & treatment
Confirm the moisture range, sulfur dioxide treatment, and whether the product is washed or oiled for handling.
Quality acceptance
A grade alone is not enough to compare dried fruit. Agree how the sample will be assessed and how it relates to the shipment.
Appearance & taste
Set the target for color, flavor, and texture, and list unacceptable taints like off-odors or fermentation. Ask who assessed any quoted quality.
Physical checks
Record moisture content, berry size, and defect limits alongside the visual and sensory requirements.
Acceptance & claims
Identify offer, pre-shipment, and arrival samples. Retain the approved sample and agree on inspection responsibilities and claim deadlines.
Origin requirements
Go beyond the country name. A specific farm, a regional cooperative, and a blended source offer different traceability levels.
Traceability
Request the growing region, producer or cooperative name, harvest year, and lot identity for the dried fruit.
Crop & stock
Ask when the grapes were harvested and processed, and where the packed product is stored, noting availability for current or future shipment.
Acceptable alternatives
For repeat supply, define which origins and processing methods you can substitute without changing the final product's quality.
Commercial terms
Dried fruit can be quoted on different delivery and payment bases. Compare the final cost on the same terms.
- Price basis
- Confirm whether the price is fixed for the season or subject to market movement, and name the currency and unit of measure.
- Delivery terms
- State whether the price includes freight and delivery to your warehouse, or is ex-works or FOB. Align insurance, storage, and local charges.
- Order terms
- Match the pack size, palletization, shipment period, and payment terms. Seasonal stock may differ from year-round supply.
Documentation & compliance
Check documentation before committing to shipment. The evidence needs to cover the product you are buying.
- Shipment documents
- Align lot references, weights, and entities across the invoice, packing list, transport document, and any origin or phytosanitary records.
- Certification
- For organic or scheme-certified dried fruit, check the current scope and the transaction or chain-of-custody evidence required for the lot.
- Destination rules
- Confirm any residue limits, labeling, and food safety requirements for the destination country, and what analysis documentation you need.
Supplier capability
A grower, packer, and importer may each control a different part of the purchase. Establish who is accountable for the final product.
Processing
Identify who handles cleaning, grading, sorting, and packing, and who resolves a quality failure at arrival.
Repeat supply
Ask how the supplier maintains quality across crop years and which replacement lots it can offer if your first choice is unavailable.
Order fit
Confirm minimum order quantities, sample provision, and export or delivery support. For smaller orders, check pack sizes and mixed pallets.
