Dried Fruit and Nuts from Vietnam: Products, Origins and Minimum Order Quantities

2026年11月14日

Short answer: Vietnam can supply private label dried mango, jackfruit, banana, coconut, freeze-dried fruit, cashews, macadamia and other nuts. Cashew is its strongest nut category, with a large processing industry. Decide the drying method (air-dried, vacuum-fried, freeze-dried), sugar and sulphite level, and pack format first. MOQ then depends mostly on whether you use the factory’s standard recipe or a custom one.

TOC

What is commonly available

Dried fruit: mango, jackfruit, banana, pineapple, coconut chips, dragon fruit, longan and others, in sweetened or no-added-sugar versions.
Freeze-dried fruit: lighter, crisp, with colour and flavour close to fresh; used in snacks, cereals and baking.
Vacuum-fried fruit and vegetable chips: a different texture from air-drying.
Cashew: raw kernels, roasted salted, flavoured, coated and cashew butter. Vietnam is a leading cashew processor.
Macadamia and other nuts: grown in the Central Highlands, Dak Lak in particular.

Whether a given fruit is available all year or only in season depends on the fruit and the factory’s cold storage and sourcing. Ask for the production calendar.

Choosing a drying method

Method	Texture	Cost and MOQ tendency	Notes
Air / hot-air dried	Chewy	Lower cost, smaller runs possible	Sugar or sulphur dioxide is often used; check limits in your market
Vacuum-fried	Crisp	Mid	Oil content and shelf life to confirm
Freeze-dried	Very crisp, light	Higher cost, needs large equipment	Check the line’s batch capacity

Specification points

Moisture and water activity targets, and test method.
Sugar content, sulphite (SO₂) use and permitted additives for the destination country.
Size, cut and defect tolerances (broken pieces, colour).
Pack: stand-up pouch, resealable bag, tub, bulk carton; nitrogen flush and oxygen absorber.
Aflatoxin and pesticide residue testing for nuts and fruit; ask for recent certificates of analysis.
Allergen control: tree nuts are an allergen, so separate lines or cleaning procedures matter if you also make nut-free products.

MOQ in practice

Standard products with the factory’s existing recipe and bulk bags can start small. A custom cut, flavour, or consumer pack usually raises MOQ because the line must be set up and packaging must be printed. Ask for MOQ as “per SKU” and “per pack format”. See how small an order can be.
