Origins

Direct sourcing relationships across the growing regions that supply the global dry fruit and nut trade.

WHERE WE SOURCE

A Sourcing Map Built on Direct Relationships

Atlexo Trading buys at origin, not through intermediaries layered three deep. Our sourcing footprint spans continents — anchored at our home base in India and reaching across Asia, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and the Americas. Every relationship is built on multi-season contracts, not spot buys, so the grade on the contract matches the grade in the container.

KEY ORIGINS

Sourcing Across Continents

01

India

Our home base — cashews (W240 / W320) processed in Kollam and Mangalore, plus a broad range of India-grown dry fruits, cleaned, sorted and consolidated for export.

02

Asia

Iranian pistachios (Akbari, Kalleghochi, Fandoghi) from Kerman and Rafsanjan, and sun-dried & green raisins from Afghanistan's Kandahar and Herat.

03

Middle East

Medjool and other premium date varieties from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, sourced through vetted regional partners.

04

Europe & Mediterranean

Aydin and Izmir sun-dried Sarilop figs and Malatya dried apricots — sulphured and organic — from Türkiye.

05

North America

Almonds and walnuts from California's Central Valley, handled through USDA-inspected hullers and shellers.

06

South America & Africa

Counter-seasonal walnuts from Chile and raw cashew imports from West Africa, extending supply through the year.

CONTINENT SPOTLIGHT

Asia — Pistachios, Cashews & Raisins

Asia anchors our supply. India is our processing home for cashews graded along the Malabar coast; Iran's Kerman and Rafsanjan belts set the world benchmark for open-shell pistachios; and Afghanistan's valleys supply sun-dried and green raisins. We buy directly from licensed exporters and processors, with aflatoxin testing and fumigation handled before any lot reaches port.

  • Cashews graded W240 & W320, processed and consolidated in India
  • Akbari, Ahmad Aghaei & Fandoghi pistachios from Iran, aflatoxin-tested
  • Sun-dried and green raisins from Kandahar and Herat
CONTINENT SPOTLIGHT

Middle East & Mediterranean — Dates, Figs & Apricots

Across the Middle East and the Mediterranean we secure premium dates, figs and apricots. Medjool and Deglet Noor dates come from cold-chain-handled cooperatives in the Gulf, while Türkiye's Aegean regions supply sun-dried Sarilop figs and Malatya apricots — sulphured or certified organic.

  • Medjool Jumbo & Super Jumbo dates; Deglet Noor for paste & bakery
  • Aydin & Izmir sun-dried Sarilop figs
  • Malatya dried apricots — sulphured and organic
CONTINENT SPOTLIGHT

The Americas — Almonds & Walnuts

North and South America give us scale and counter-seasonal cover. California's Central Valley supplies almonds and walnuts through USDA-inspected hullers and shellers on forward contracts, and Chile's harvest lets us fill gaps when Northern Hemisphere crops are between seasons.

  • Nonpareil, Carmel & Monterey almonds; Chandler & Howard walnuts
  • USDA grade certification, with PCA documentation on request
  • Counter-seasonal walnuts from Chile for year-round supply

SOURCING FAQ

Common Questions on Origin and Traceability

Can you trace a shipment back to a specific farm or cooperative?

Yes. Every lot carries a batch code linking it to the originating farm group, harvest date, and processing facility.

Do you provide certificates of origin?

Yes, along with phytosanitary certificates, fumigation certificates, and commercial invoices matched to each shipment's HS code.

Can you blend or single-source per buyer preference?

Both. We supply single-origin lots for buyers who require it, and blended lots for consistent year-round pricing and availability.

What happens if a crop year is short?

We forward-contract with multiple growers per origin specifically to buffer against short crop years and avoid supply gaps.

Do you handle counter-seasonal sourcing?

Yes — Chilean and South African origins let us fill gaps when Northern Hemisphere crops are between harvests.
