FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Minimum: FSSC 22000, BRC, or IFS Food certification. Market-specific certifications (Halal, vegan, organic) are valuable for expanding reach but not required for all markets.
Suppliers should be able to support container-scale orders (20ft or 40ft FCL). Typical starting volumes range from 10-20 tonnes per month depending on product and market.
Initial review: 5-7 days. Sample evaluation and buyer testing: 2-3 weeks. Market introduction and first orders: typically within 4-6 weeks of approval.
Yes. Quality, certifications, and export readiness matter more than geography. We work with suppliers across Asia, Americas, and Africa.
We guide suppliers on labelling, allergen declarations, and documentation requirements for target markets. Final compliance responsibility lies with the supplier.
We work to match products with suitable buyer segments and markets. If initial placement underperforms, we adjust strategy — market repositioning, price adjustment, or new buyer introduction — rather than discontinuation.
Terms are negotiated directly between Candora and suppliers based on volume, product category, and relationship maturity. Standard trade terms (30-60 days) are typical.
