Sourcing Brazilian Fruit Ingredients for Manufacturers
Brazil is the origin of açaí and acerola and sits next to the Amazon supply of camu-camu. Buying from there means managing producers, documents and logistics. Biohacker coordinates that work.
The sourcing problem
A manufacturer wants Brazilian fruit ingredients but does not want to qualify each producer, learn the export paperwork and chase documents lot by lot.
The risk is not only price. It is whether the facility, the lot and the paperwork match what you specified.
What the brief needs to define
- Fruit and format for each application
- Origin and traceability expected on the dossier
- Certificates required by your market and customers
- Packaging and shipping terms
- Documents for export and import clearance
How Biohacker approaches it
Qualified producers and processors
We work through producers and processors we qualify against your specification, and we state the supply route in each quotation.
Documentation collected for you
TDS, COA and applicable certificates are collected and checked against the proposed lot.
Trade terms stated up front
Each quotation states the delivery basis, currency and unit. For markets where duty rules on Brazilian-origin goods have changed, we state the HTS code and duty assumption used.
