How to read the table (grade & size)

Prices cluster by grade (defect tolerance), size (e.g., Medjool jumbo vs large), and texture (soft vs semi-dry). For retail SKUs, packaging and label compliance (FSSAI/vegan mark/barcode) move realized price more than buyers expect.

  • Medjool: ask for the supplier’s size chart and calibration record.
  • Ajwa: visual uniformity and minimal surface scarring command premium.
  • Sukkari: moisture is value—book cold chain and keep packs chilled.
Spec first, then price: Lock defects/size/pack/labels in writing; sample before committing to volume.

City bands & logistics impact

Lane costs vary by city and service level (reefer vs ambient). Mumbai/Hyderabad often clear faster for soft varieties; long lanes to the Northeast can widen landed price bands. Confirm reefer setpoint, transit time, and replacement terms for soft dates.

Seasonality: when prices move

  • Ramadan & Diwali: peak demand; pre-book premium lots.
  • Harvest windows: fresh import waves can lower bands temporarily.
  • Currency/freight: USD/INR swings and ocean rates impact CIF; track both.

Quality checks that affect price

  • Inbound QC: random sample per lot; inspect appearance, aroma, texture.
  • Moisture/softness: soft dates (Medjool/Sukkari) need chill to hold value.
  • Packaging: vacuum/MAP, rigid gift boxes, retail pouches can lift ASP.

Buyer’s mini-checklist

  • Written spec (size/defect tolerance) + photos.
  • Batch labels with lot number and storage guidance.
  • Cold-chain records for soft dates on request.

FAQ: most searched buyer questions

Why does Medjool vary so much in price?

Size and softness drive price; jumbo, clean fruit with strong chill history commands a premium. Retail-ready packaging adds cost but improves realized value.

Is Ajwa always premium?

Ajwa is sought after, especially in festive periods. However, visual uniformity and low defect tolerance separate premium Ajwa from mid-tier stock.

Do I need a reefer for Sukkari?

Recommended. Sukkari’s honeyed texture depends on temperature control; reefer lanes protect margin by reducing returns.

Which dates are best for value mixes?

Zahedi and Deglet Noor suit economy blends and industrial use; they’re stable, semi-dry and easier to handle in ambient supply chains.
