We want to start a project of organic macadamia nuts from Thaïland.
For the first season, we would be ready to buy 5 MT of organic macadamia nuts, whole and halves, as a trial.
They would have to be certified organic according to EU regulation.
The project would consist in:
- certifying some lands with macadamia trees : it may be quite fast, while I imagine that these trees are growing naturally in the forest of the North of Thaïland, am I wrong?
- cracking the nuts.
- heating them in your dryers in your factory at Chiang Mai.
- selecting them (remove foreign matters, selecting halves and wholes)
- packing them under vacuum pack.
- exporting them .
Agro Sourcing would finance the purchase of the cracking material, all the costs of analysis & certification, etc...
I received your samples yesterday (conventional, as far as I understood): I'm going to compare them with the ones that we are used to buy from Australia.
If quality is equivalent, then we will start the project.
My target is to reach 30 Tons in 3 years if all is okay (quality, price, supply chain,...)
I will keep you informed next week as soon as I tasted your thaï macadamia vs the Australian ones.
Kind Regards
