In the competitive world of global walnut kernel trade, understanding your supplier’s Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and bulk pricing structure is critical to maintaining profit margins and ensuring supply consistency.

At Tamila Agrifood, we offer clear, flexible, and buyer-friendly terms — making international procurement smoother and more profitable. Whether you are sourcing Light Halves, Amber Pieces, or Broken Kernels, our pricing and MOQ policies are designed to fit both large-scale importers and smaller distributors testing new markets.

1. Understanding MOQ in Walnut Kernel Trade

The Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) is the smallest amount of product a supplier can process, pack, and export efficiently.

For walnut kernels, MOQ depends on several factors:

•    Type & Grade (Light halves vs. broken kernels)

•    Packaging (vacuum packs, cartons, jute bags)

•    Shipping method (air vs. sea freight)

•    Customization level (roasting, flavoring, labeling)

Typical MOQ examples at Tamila Agrifood:

•    Light Halves: 10 metric tons

•    Broken Kernels: 5 metric tons

•    Roasted or Customized Grades: 3 metric tons

For first-time importers, we also provide flexible MOQ options starting from 2 tons, allowing easier entry into the market.

2. Why MOQ Matters for Global Buyers?

MOQ affects cost-efficiency, logistics, and price per unit. Setting the right MOQ helps both buyer and supplier maintain quality, reduce waste, and optimize shipping space.

Buyers benefit from:

•    Easier inventory control

•    Lower risk for market testing

•    Faster turnaround times

Suppliers benefit from:

•    Production and packaging efficiency

•    Reduced handling and documentation costs

•    Standardized export quality

3. Bulk Pricing: The More You Order, The Better the Rate

Bulk pricing rewards higher volume purchases through discounts and lower per-ton costs.

At Tamila Agrifood, our tiered pricing model ensures maximum value for importers and wholesalers:

Quantity Range (Metric Tons)   /   Price per Ton (USD)   /   Price Benefit

2–5 tons    /  $6,300   /   Standard MOQ Price

6–15 tons   /   $6,150   /   3.5% Discount

16–30 tons   /   $6,000   /   7% Discount

31+ tons   /   Negotiable    /    Custom Pricing for Long-Term Buyers

Our bulk pricing is transparent, stable, and negotiable for framework agreements or repeat customers.

4. Flexible MOQ Policies for New Importers

We understand that many distributors and traders want to test product quality and market response before committing to full container loads.

That’s why Tamila Agrifood offers:

•    Low initial MOQ (2 tons) for trial shipments

•    Mixed container options (various walnut grades in one load)

•    Custom packaging for pilot programs

This flexibility supports small and mid-sized buyers in building their customer base confidently.

5. What Determines Walnut Kernel Prices

Walnut kernel prices fluctuate due to several key factors:

1.   Raw Material Availability: Seasonal and regional differences in crop yields.

2.   Grade & Color: Premium Light Halves are priced higher than Amber or Broken kernels.

3.   Processing: Roasted or hand-sorted grades have higher labor and equipment costs.

4.   Packaging: Vacuum-sealed bags cost more than bulk jute sacks.

5.   Destination Freight: Shipping and insurance costs vary by route.

At Tamila Agrifood, we monitor global market trends daily to ensure fair, real-time pricing for all export orders.

6. Long-Term Framework Agreements for Stable Pricing

To protect our partners from market volatility, we offer Framework Agreements (FAs) — contracts that lock in prices for 6–12 months.

Advantages:

•    Stable, predictable pricing

•    Guaranteed product availability

•    Priority scheduling during peak harvest

•    Streamlined documentation and customs processing

Many of our clients in the EU, GCC, and East Asia use this model to plan imports confidently and avoid sudden cost spikes.

7. Quality Assurance and MOQ Correlation

At Tamila Agrifood, MOQ isn’t just about logistics — it’s tied to maintaining consistent quality standards.

Our MOQ policies ensure that each batch meets:

•    Uniform moisture levels (<5%)

•    Graded color standards (Light, Light Amber, Amber)

•    Zero shell fragments or contamination

•    International packaging and labeling compliance

Each shipment is tested and verified by accredited laboratories before export, ensuring premium quality and reliability.

8. Global Logistics & Shipping Solutions

MOQ and pricing work best when backed by reliable logistics.

We offer complete door-to-port and port-to-port shipping solutions, including:

•    FOB, CIF, and DDP terms

•    Sea, air, or multimodal shipping

•    Temperature-controlled warehousing for roasted kernels
