FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our products, ordering, and export process.

What is the minimum order quantity for export? βŒ„
For dehydrated and freeze-dried products, our minimum export order is typically 500kg per SKU. Fresh fruit exports start at 1 full pallet (~800–1000kg). Smaller trial orders may be arranged for new customers.
What certifications do your products hold? βŒ„
Our facility is HACCP certified and ISO 22000 compliant. We provide COA, phytosanitary certificates, and halal certification. Organic certification is available for selected lines.
What is the shelf life of dehydrated / freeze-dried products? βŒ„
Dehydrated fruits have a shelf life of 12–18 months. Our freeze-dried products last up to 24–36 months in sealed, airtight packaging away from sunlight and moisture.
Do you offer custom or private label packaging? βŒ„
Yes! We offer full private label and custom packaging services β€” various bag sizes (50g–25kg) with your brand artwork. Minimum quantities apply for custom packaging runs.
Which countries do you currently export to? βŒ„
We currently supply 15+ countries including Germany, France, UK, UAE, China, India, USA, Canada, and several across the Middle East and Asia Pacific. We welcome inquiries from new markets.
What is the difference between dehydrated and freeze-dried? βŒ„
Dehydrated fruits use heat to remove moisture (80–95%). Freeze-dried fruits are frozen then moisture is removed in a vacuum β€” retaining up to 97% of nutrients, better colour, and a lighter crunchier texture with longer shelf life.
