What to look for when sourcing in-shell almond

Product specification

An in-shell almond for the retail snack trade and one for industrial cracking differ in variety and grade. Start with the intended use and the required kernel quality.

Variety and size

Specify the variety, such as Nonpareil or Carmel, and agree the size grade by almond count per ounce or sieve size. Kernel weight and shape vary by variety.

Physical requirements

Agree on moisture content, the percentage of foreign material, and limits for split or broken shells. Also specify whether jumbo, standard or small size is acceptable.

Crop year and lot

Confirm the crop year and whether you are buying a specific orchard lot or a blended shipment with consistent quality.

Quality acceptance

Quality checks on in-shell almonds cover both the external shell and the kernel inside. Agree how the final shipment will be assessed against the approved sample.

Kernel evaluation
Crack samples to assess kernel color, flavor, insect damage and rancidity. Also check for shriveled or moldy kernels.
Shell inspection
Inspect shells for cracks, stains, or excessive dust, and ensure the shell integrity protects the kernel. Check for uniformity of size and shape.
Acceptance criteria
Set tolerances for defects and foreign material, and agree whether the assessor is the buyer, an independent agency, or both. Retain the approved sample for comparison.

Origin requirements

Origin affects flavor, kernel color and shipping logistics. Determine what level of traceability you need for your product claims.

Geographic identity

Specify the growing region or district, as well as the huller or processor location. Ask for orchard or block information if you need lot-level traceability.

Harvest and storage

Ask when the almonds were harvested and hulled, and whether they are stored in temperature-controlled conditions. This affects shelf life and quality.

Substitution rules

For continuous supply, define which varieties or regions can be substituted while maintaining similar kernel characteristics.

Commercial terms

In-shell almonds may be quoted per metric ton on an FOB, CIF or ex-warehouse basis. Compare offers on the same delivery and payment terms.

Pricing unit: Clarify whether the price is per kilogram or per metric ton and the currency, and whether it includes packaging. Confirm the delivery point and which party pays freight and insurance.
Payment and shipment: Agree on the payment method, such as letter of credit or telegraphic transfer, and the shipment window. Check whether the price is fixed or subject to adjustment for quality.
Quantity flexibility: Specify allowable over- or under-shipment percentage and any demurrage or storage charges at destination.

Documentation & compliance

Documentation must accurately identify the almond lot and meet destination requirements. Verify that the paperwork aligns with your contract terms.

Shipping documents: Cross-check the invoice, packing list and transport document for lot numbers, weights and the declared commodity. Ensure the supplier name and address match your contract.
Phytosanitary requirements: Ask if the destination requires a phytosanitary certificate and whether treatment for pests is needed. Confirm who obtains that certificate and what it covers.
Import rules: For shipments to certain markets, check for aflatoxin testing or additional food-safety documentation. Verify with your importer or customs agent what is acceptable.

Supplier capability

Each supplier role controls a different part of the supply chain. Establish who is accountable for quality and delivery before you commit.

Processing and storage
Identify who hulls, dries, grades and stores the almonds, and how they handle quality control. Ensure refrigeration or cold storage is available if needed.
Supply reliability
Ask how the supplier manages variability between harvests and whether they can offer consistent quality across the season. Confirm their ability to meet your order volume.
Logistics support
For export orders, confirm the supplier handles export documentation and container loading. For smaller orders, ask about consolidation or ex-warehouse availability.
