Bulk Bean Trade: Key Considerations in Quality & Packaging

As an exporter or supplier, you should be aware of a few considerations while ensuring the quality of your bean commodity. Remember that both quality and packaging matter for a successful trade business. There are certain quality standards that beans importers or buyers look for. Staying updated with these standards can help attract more potential buyers. So, let's understand what these are.


Quality Considerations:

  • Should be well-stored to prevent spoilage
  • Should have standardized moisture content (below 14%)


Packaging Considerations:

  • Should protect the beans from pests, damage, and moisture
  • Should have proper labeling with key information (like product name, variety, net weight, batch code, shelf-life, & storage instructions)
