Quick answer
The dried-food category covers eight items: dried apricot and apricot kernel from Malatya, dried mulberry from across Türkiye, hazelnut and walnut from the Black Sea, and roasted chickpea from the Ağın district of Elazığ. These products are prepared in batches sorted into calibre groups for the food industry, snack manufacturers, retail shelves and dried-fruit importers. We buy the product from the region where it is processed, close to the source; on request we clarify delivery terms with a sample.
Türkiye is the world’s largest producer of dried apricot; dried-apricot production is concentrated mainly in Malatya and its surroundings. The backbone of the category is built here: sulphured and natural dried apricot, the sweet kernel separated from its shell, and the bitter kernel that runs on a separate line. Alongside the apricot line there is a second axis — hazelnut from the Black Sea, calibrated walnut, white dried mulberry and the roasted chickpea unique to Ağın. All eight items run through one contact, one supply chain.
We buy the product from the geography where it is processed, close to the source, and shorten the intermediary chain. Shell and kernel separate at apricot-cracking facilities; we supply the separated item on a calibre and batch basis. This closeness serves two things: the price carries no unnecessary layers, and the lead time is set realistically around the harvest and processing calendar. Quality claims are kept transparent — on calibre, color and cleanliness, confirmation via sample is offered for serious, high-volume requests.
When a request comes in, the intended use and target market are clarified first, then calibre and packaging are discussed. Domestically we deliver by truck to factories, wholesalers and retail chains; for export the batch is loaded by container (FOB/CIF). The certificate of origin and the documents required by the destination country are coordinated before shipment. We do not publish a price list: once the quantity, calibre and delivery point are set, the quote is prepared per batch.
Comparison
Which one fits your job?
The table is a qualitative guide; exact values such as calibre, moisture and SO2 are typical reference ranges — if the buyer requests it, we arrange for a batch sample to be sent to an independent laboratory, and the result comes directly from the lab.

Food Industry
As a dried-fruit and kernel input in chocolate, bakery, compote, muesli and granola production. Tell us the calibre and moisture tolerance your recipe needs; the batch is sorted accordingly.
Snacks & Nut Mixes
As a component in packaged nut, dried-fruit and mix lines. Raw or roasted, salted or plain options are sorted to request.
Export & Wholesale
Calibrated batch shipments by the container to dried-fruit and nut importers. The destination country’s food-codex requirements and documents are coordinated from the start.

Packaged or bulk supply to chain-grocery shelves and private-label lines; label and packaging requests are considered.
Cosmetics & Industrial
Bitter apricot kernel is supplied as a raw material for cold-pressed cosmetic oil production and related industrial processes. This item is not intended for food consumption; it is not mixed with the sweet kernel anywhere in the supply chain.
Hotel, Restaurant & Gift

Selection guide
How to choose?
First the sulphur decision: color or no additives?
Sulphured apricot stays bright yellow-orange and offers visual consistency on the shelf; natural apricot dries on its own, turns dark amber-brown and is the product the “clean label” segment looks for. The decision is made by the target market’s expectation; we supply both.
Is the use food or cosmetic/industrial?
The sweet apricot kernel is an edible kernel and goes into food as an almond substitute; the bitter kernel is a separate type, is not supplied for food purposes and is directed only to cold-pressed oil and industrial processes. The two items are supplied as separate batches and are not mixed anywhere along the chain; confirmation of the intended use is requested at the time of the request.
Form, calibre and processing
For hazelnut and walnut, shelled or in-shell, raw or roasted, how much broken-kernel tolerance; for apricot, which size group or a mixed batch — these shape the quote. State your calibre and moisture expectation up front: finding the batch that matches depends on it.
Documents, packaging and delivery
The certificate of origin and the documents required by the destination country are coordinated before shipment. Packaging (carton, vacuum pouch, and for some items big-bag) and delivery method — truck domestically, container (FOB/CIF) for export — are settled at this stage.
FAQ
Frequently asked about Dried Food
Which products are supplied in the dried-food category?
Sulphured and natural dried apricot, sweet apricot kernel, bitter apricot kernel, dried mulberry, hazelnut, walnut and Ağın roasted chickpea. The apricot and kernel items are sourced from the Malatya basin, hazelnut from the Black Sea region, and the chickpea from the Ağın district of Elazığ.
Should I buy sulphured or natural dried apricot?
If visual consistency on the shelf and long shelf life are your priority, sulphured apricot; if you sell to a segment looking for an additive-free, natural product, natural sun-dried apricot suits. In the sulphured product, the SO2 level is kept within the food-codex limits of the target market as far as possible, and, if requested, we arrange for a batch sample to be sent to an independent laboratory for confirmation, with the result coming directly from the lab. The decision is made together according to the destination country and the shelf.
Is bitter apricot kernel sold as food?
No. Bitter apricot kernel is a different type from the sweet kernel and is not supplied for food consumption. It is provided only as a raw material for cold-pressed cosmetic oil production and industrial processes; the intended use is confirmed to be within this scope at the time of the request, and the batch is supplied separately from the sweet kernel.
Can I combine different items in one shipment?
Yes. Dried apricot, kernel, dried mulberry and nut items can be consolidated in one batch; loaded by truck domestically and by the container for export. For a mixed load, the packaging type and pallet layout are planned at the order stage.
Is there a price list, and how do I get a quote?
We don’t publish a price list; the price of each item changes with calibre, form, packaging, quantity and delivery point. Send the product, the estimated quantity and the delivery point (domestic or export port); for serious, high-volume requests, let’s weigh the sample option together and prepare the quote.
