Fresh & Chilled Produce
Fresh garlic, ginger, onions and other vegetables for importers, wholesalers and food processors. Compare whole and peeled formats, then choose a product to discuss its grade, packing and shipment requirements.
Start with the crop, the format and the season
Fresh produce purchasing depends on the crop, whether it is supplied whole or peeled, and when it ships. An importer filling a wholesale programme asks different questions from a processor buying peeled raw material. Use this page to find the product, then send an inquiry that states the format, grade and destination you need.
Fresh & Chilled Produce buying guide
Use these points to prepare a product-specific inquiry.
Choose whole or peeled
Whole garlic bulbs, onions and ginger suit wholesale and retail distribution. Peeled garlic and peeled onions are prepared for kitchens and processing lines. State which format you need, because handling, packing and shelf life differ between them.
Grade, size and variety
Send the size range, grade and variety relevant to the crop, such as bulb diameter for garlic or colour for onions. Include your purchasing specification where one exists so the offer is checked against your actual requirement.
Season and availability
Fresh crops follow harvest and storage seasons. Tell us your intended shipment period so current availability can be confirmed for the selected product rather than assumed from the listing.
Packing and loading
Give the pack type and weight you need, whether mesh bags, cartons or another format, and the quantity per shipment. Packing options and loading details should be confirmed for the selected product and destination.
Temperature and transit
Fresh and chilled products need suitable storage and transport conditions for the route. Confirm the handling requirements and expected transit time for your destination before finalising an order.
Documents and import requirements
List the documents your market requires, such as phytosanitary or origin documents, and any test reports you need to review. Their availability and scope should be confirmed for the selected product before ordering.
