Buyer FAQ
Malatya's climate and the Lic apricot variety give the intense sweetness, deep colour and drying quality that anchor the world trade; export grades are sized by row count per carton.
Golden apricots are treated with food-grade SO2 before drying and stay bright orange; unsulphured natural apricots dry to a deep brown with a purer fruit flavour and are chosen for health-food retail.
Jumbo and Superior golden halves dominate Gulf and Indian retail gifting; unsulphured natural sizes lead health-food channels in Europe.
Type (golden/natural), size row, quantity, destination port and packaging help us respond with accurate pricing and lead times faster.
We ship worldwide from our Dubai trading desk, with our strongest lanes in the Gulf (GCC) and India — where we handle volume programmes, destination-market documentation and packaging to local retail specs.
