What to look for when sourcing spinach
Product specification
Fresh spinach means leaves intended for handling and consumption in raw or minimally processed form, not a canned, frozen, or otherwise preserved product. Start with the intended use, such as retail bagged salad or foodservice bulk.
Type & form
Specify smooth-leaf or savoy-leaf spinach and the form: whole leaves, baby leaves, or cut leaves. State whether trimmed and washed.
Grade & size
Agree on leaf size range, color, and uniformity. Define acceptable tolerance for damaged or yellowing leaves.
Packaging
Confirm packaging type, weight, and storage requirements, such as poly bags, clamshells, or bulk cartons. Specify whether packaging must be food-grade and labeled.
Quality acceptance
Fresh spinach quality is perishable, so assessment must cover appearance at shipment and condition upon arrival. Agree on inspection points and tolerances.
Visual standard
Set thresholds for leaf color, turgidity, and the presence of foreign matter or decay. Define unacceptable conditions like wilting or insect damage.
Physical condition
Check temperature and packaging integrity at shipment and arrival. Assess the load for crushing or moisture damage during transit.
Acceptance & claims
Agree on sampling method and who inspects at origin, at destination, or both. Retain an approved sample photo or reference and define claim deadlines.
Origin requirements
Origin affects growing conditions, harvest timing, and supply availability. Define the preferred region and the level of traceability required.
Geographic origin
Identify the country and, if needed, the growing region. Ask whether the supplier sources from a single farm or aggregates from multiple growers.
Harvest & supply window
Clarify the harvest season and whether the spinach is available now or only during certain months. Ask how far in advance orders must be placed.
Acceptable alternatives
If supply is limited, specify which origin substitutions are acceptable (e.g., same country different region) without changing the product specification.
Commercial terms
Fresh spinach is highly perishable, so delivery speed and temperature control directly affect the commercial terms. Compare offers on the same delivery basis.
- Delivery basis
- Confirm whether the price is ex-farm, FOB at the packing house, or delivered to your specified location. Align responsibility for refrigerated transport and insurance.
- Order terms
- Match quantity per shipment, delivery frequency, and payment terms. Clarify lead time and order changes given shelf life.
- Price validity
- Set a quote validity period. For long-term supply, agree how price adjustments are handled if market prices change.
Documentation & compliance
Documentation must align with the shipped lot and destination requirements. Confirm what the buyer needs to receive and what the supplier must provide.
- Shipment documents
- Align lot references, weights, and entities across the invoice, packing list, transport document, and any origin health certificate.
- Residue and safety
- Verify that the product meets applicable pesticide residue limits for the destination. Ask for lab reports if required by contract.
- Destination rules
- Confirm import requirements such as phytosanitary certificates or customs declarations. Ask the supplier if they can provide the necessary paperwork.
Supplier capability
A grower, packer, and exporter may each handle different parts of the supply chain. Establish who is accountable for the packed and shipped product.
Packing & cold chain
Identify who cleans, sizes, packs, and cold stores the spinach before loading. Ask about temperature monitoring and how they manage transit risk.
Volume & continuity
Ask about maximum weekly volume and how they handle seasonal gaps. Confirm whether they can adjust order sizes based on demand.
Order fit
Clarify minimum order size, sample provision, and delivery scheduling. For smaller orders, ask about consolidated shipments or partial pallets.
