Essential & bulk goods
Wholesale procurement, not retail.
Salt, pepper, onions, edible oils and flour — bulk supply for industrial buyers, distributors and institutional kitchens. Specifications first, packaging second.
01 — Products
Five families,
bulk quantities.
Food staples and ingredients on one side, spices and produce on the other. Edible oils are food — never to be confused with petroleum.
02 — Bulk terms
What a quote
must state.
In bulk procurement the difference between two offers is rarely the headline price — it is packaging, moisture, shelf life and the delivery point.
Quality standard
Purity, calibre, protein, ASTA density, ICUMSA — the measurable field.
Unit & pallet
25 kg, 50 kg, 1 t bags, flexitank, bins — and how it is stacked.
Harvest & shelf life
Perishables carry a date; storage conditions change the price.
Incoterms
FOB, CFR, CIF, DAP — and who carries insurance and risk.
