When it comes to global trade in nuts, especially hazelnut kernels, buyers know that the most critical factors influencing cost and profitability are Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and bulk pricing structure. Understanding these two concepts helps importers plan better, negotiate smarter, and maintain consistent supply chains. At Tamila Agrifood, we believe in transparency, flexibility, and partnership-driven trade, offering tailored MOQ and pricing plans for clients in the EU, Middle East, and Africa.

Understanding MOQ in Hazelnut Exports

MOQ refers to the smallest quantity of product that a supplier is willing to sell. For hazelnut kernels, MOQ ensures that both the buyer and exporter operate efficiently in logistics, customs clearance, and production management. The MOQ typically depends on several key factors:

•    Packaging Type: Bulk shipments in 25 kg or 50 kg vacuum bags require higher MOQ compared to retail packs.

•    Kernel Grade: Whole roasted or premium grades often have smaller MOQs, while industrial grades like chopped or paste-grade hazelnuts are usually sold in larger volumes.

•    Destination Country: Freight and customs efficiency differ across Europe, the GCC region, and Africa, which can influence the MOQ level.

At Tamila Agrifood, we offer flexible MOQ options starting from 16 metric tons (1 full container load) for wholesale hazelnut exports, ensuring buyers can optimize both cost and transport efficiency.

How Bulk Pricing Works in Hazelnut Trade

Bulk pricing in the hazelnut industry is dynamic and depends on multiple elements—market demand, seasonal harvest volume, global currency fluctuations, and freight costs. Our team at Tamila Agrifood continuously monitors these factors to offer competitive, real-time pricing to our partners.

Key determinants of hazelnut kernel pricing include:

•    Variety & Origin: Whole kernels, halved kernels, and roasted grades each carry different processing costs.

•    Quality Grade: Extra Class (premium, uniform, clean) is priced higher than industrial grades.

•    Moisture & Oil Content: Laboratory-tested batches with balanced moisture and optimal fat levels fetch better export prices.

•    Order Size: Large-volume contracts or framework agreements typically receive discounts based on shipment frequency and payment terms.

Our philosophy is simple: the more consistent your orders, the better your pricing advantage. We reward long-term buyers with volume-based discounts and priority supply allocation.

Framework Agreements for Long-Term Buyers

One of Tamila Agrifood’s key differentiators is our framework agreement model, which allows importers to secure pricing and volume stability for 6 to 12 months. This system helps buyers mitigate market fluctuations, manage budgets, and guarantee uninterrupted access to premium hazelnuts throughout the year.

Under these agreements, we:

•    Fix a negotiated base price per metric ton.

•    Define shipment schedules aligned with the buyer’s seasonal demand.

•    Offer flexible payment options (L/C, T/T, or mixed payment plans).

•    Prioritize production and shipping slots for contract clients.

This approach provides stability for distributors and manufacturers, especially in industries such as confectionery, bakery, and snack production that depend on steady raw material quality.

Competitive Wholesale Pricing from Tamila Agrifood

At Tamila Agrifood, we work closely with trusted processing partners and certified growers to control costs without compromising quality. Our procurement strategy focuses on:

•    Direct sourcing from top hazelnut regions to eliminate middlemen.

•    Efficient port logistics and consolidation for cost-optimized container loads.

•    Long-term partnerships with buyers to ensure mutual growth.

We regularly update our pricing structure to stay competitive in both FOB (Free on Board) and CIF (Cost, Insurance & Freight) terms. Buyers can request custom quotations (RFQ) via our website, specifying their preferred grade, packaging, and destination port.

Why MOQ and Pricing Flexibility Matter?

In the fast-changing world of agricultural commodities, flexibility is power. Many exporters impose rigid order minimums that discourage smaller distributors. Tamila Agrifood, however, offers custom solutions—especially for first-time buyers or companies testing new market entries.

For example, buyers can start with one container (approx. 16 MT) to test product performance in their local market. Once quality and demand are verified, they can easily scale up to multi-container shipments under a long-term contract.

This approach supports sustainable partnerships, ensuring both sides grow together rather than risk overstock or financial strain.
