What to look for when sourcing strawberry
Product specification
Fresh strawberries vary by intended use: retail display, foodservice, or processing into puree or preserves. Set your specification around the variety and physical condition needed.
Variety & stage
Specify the variety (for example, Albion or Camarosa) and the ripeness stage at harvest, such as mature but firm for shipping or fully ripe for immediate use.
Physical specification
Agree on caliber (berry size), color, shape, and absence of defects like bruising or decay. Define acceptable tolerances for off-grade fruit.
Packaging & format
Confirm whether you need clamshells, punnets, or bulk cartons, and the pack weight. Match packaging to your retail or processing needs.
Quality acceptance
Quality assessment for fresh strawberries focuses on appearance, firmness, and shelf life. Agree on evaluation methods and how the shipment will be checked.
Field & arrival checks
Define inspection points: at harvest, on loading, and at destination. Assess color, firmness, bruising, and decay using agreed methods.
Sensory & handling
Taste representative berries for sweetness and flavor. Test firmness by hand or instrument if required, and note cold chain conditions.
Acceptance & claims
Retain samples from the shipment and agree on the claim procedure for quality failures. Specify the time limit for filing claims.
Origin requirements
Origin affects seasonality, variety availability, and logistics. Determine whether you need a specific growing region or are flexible to maintain continuity.
Growing region
Request the farm or district and harvest season. For multiple origins, identify how each contributes to your supply calendar.
Harvest & availability
Ask when the berries were harvested, whether they are available now or for a future season, and the expected supply window.
Substitution rules
Define which origins or varieties you accept if the preferred source is unavailable. Set limits on flavor and shelf-life differences.
Commercial terms
Fresh strawberries are priced per pack or per kilogram, with terms depending on whether you buy ex-farm, FOB, or delivered. Compare offers on the same basis.
- Price basis
- Clarify whether the price is per kilogram, per pack, or per carton, and whether it includes packaging or pallet charges.
- Delivery terms
- Confirm ex-farm, FOB at origin, or delivered to your location. Align transport, cold chain, and insurance responsibilities.
- Order terms
- Match payment terms, minimum order quantity, and delivery schedules. Ensure the shipment window allows for peak ripeness.
Documentation & compliance
Check documentation to ensure the shipment meets import and food safety rules. Verify that paperwork matches the actual berries.
- Shipment documents
- Align lot numbers, weights, and pack counts across the invoice, packing list, and transport document. Check for phytosanitary certificates if required by the destination.
- Food safety records
- For destination markets with residue monitoring, ask for test results or evidence of compliance with applicable maximum residue limits.
- Destination rules
- Confirm any import permits or quarantine requirements for the destination country. For EU or other regulated markets, check the current traceability and due-diligence obligations.
Supplier capability
A grower, packer, exporter, or importer may control different stages of your order. Establish who is accountable for quality and logistics.
Packing & cold chain
Identify who handles grading, packing, and cold storage, and who ensures temperature control from harvest to loading.
Volume & continuity
Ask for the supplier's peak season capacity and ability to deliver consistently across the season. For year-round supply, check multiple origins and logistics.
Order fit
Confirm minimum order size, sample availability, and flexibility for rush orders. For small volumes, ask if the supplier can consolidate with other buyers.
