Wholesale fresh produce sourcing for B2B programmes
Fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs for importers, distributors, retail chains, food-service buyers and processors.
The short answer
Global B2B Group runs a buyer-first request process for bulk fruit and vegetables. You describe crop, variety, grade, volume, season, packaging and destination once. Our project team reviews the request and, for programmes with a declared value from USD 250,000 per year or season, contacts suitable growers, packers and exporters on your behalf and returns their offers side by side. We do not grow, pack, import or ship produce, and supplier contact runs through our team. The service is free for buyers.

How a sourcing request works
1. Define
Describe the product, specification, volume per delivery, frequency, season, packaging, destination and Incoterm in the free request form.

State the total annual or seasonal value. Programmes from USD 250,000 move to supplier outreach; smaller requests are kept on file.
3. Review
Our project team checks the request for completeness and fit and asks clarifying questions before anyone is contacted.
4. Compare and decide
We approach suitable producers, packers or exporters on your behalf and return their offers side by side. Any introduction happens only with your approval.

Buyer questions
What is the minimum for a fresh produce sourcing request?
A declared programme value from USD 250,000 per year or season. Smaller requests can still be sent and are kept on file, but they do not move to supplier outreach.
Do you sell produce or publish a list of suppliers?
No. Global B2B Group is a supplier-neutral intermediary. We do not hold stock or publish supplier contacts; our team approaches suitable suppliers on your behalf after reviewing your request.
Can you guarantee year-round supply or a fixed price?
No. Supply and price depend on season, origin, weather, plant-health rules and supplier capacity. We return the offers suppliers make so you can compare them; we do not guarantee supply, price or delivery.
Which documents will an import programme need?
It depends on the product and the destination. Many importing countries require a phytosanitary certificate for fresh fruit and vegetables, and retailers often ask for food-safety certificates. List what you need in the request and confirm official requirements with the competent authority.
Can I request avocados or cherries specifically?
Yes. Choose fresh fruit in the request form and state variety, size, origin window and ripeness. The avocado and cherry buyer guides list the details suppliers usually ask for.
What this service does not do
- We do not grow, catch, farm, pack, import, export or ship products, and we do not hold stock.
- We do not publish supplier lists, contact details, live offers or market prices.
- Availability, price and delivery depend on season, origin, health rules and supplier capacity; nothing on this page is an offer or a guarantee.
- Offers are returned as received. Our comparison does not certify quality, food safety, certification status or delivery performance.
- Import rules, duties and documents depend on the product and destination; confirm them with the competent authority.
