The trade
A duka, a kiosk, a school canteen or a hawker buys sweets by the carton from a distributor in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu or Nakuru; the distributor buys by the pallet from an importer, or imports for itself; the importer brings the container into Mombasa with the certificate of conformity. That is the link we quote: a sweets distributor or an importer filling one mixed container from Gaziantep, each line on its own pallet, with the inspection settled before the deposit.
The lines that fit a sweets list
Jellies in bulk bags and wrapped pieces, wrapped hard candies and lollipops, popping candy, wrapped mini biscuits and wafers that stand up to the heat, and the compound-coated bar that survives a kiosk shelf where chocolate would not. The confectionery page lists each group; the offer states the format, wrapped or loose, the case weight, the pieces per case and whether a line is chocolate or compound.
The price per piece
Candy wholesale Kenya prices is the searched form of the question, and the trade buys on price per piece; the answer is in the offer, not on this site: the price per line in US dollars, the case count and the pieces per case, the pallet plan, the tariff line, the duty that applies on the day under the East African tariff and the inspection cost. Nothing that changes with the exchange rate or the season is printed on a page, so a distributor is never quoting from a number that has since moved.
Starting a sweets wholesale business
The searches for a sweets wholesale business in Kenya come from people at the start, and the honest answer is that the container is not the first step: a new distributor buys by the carton from an importer that already brings Turkish lines in, learns which lines move in which town, and fills a container when the pallets add up. A group of new distributors that pools an order, with one of them holding the import declaration and the standards mark, is quoted like an importer, each buyer’s cartons on their own pallets.
Dry, and the mixed container
Jellies, wrapped candies, wafers and compound lines travel dry all year; chocolate lines go in the reefer, year round on this route, and are stated as chocolate on the offer. Because the container is mixed, sweets travel next to wafers, Turkish delight and the chocolate for the supermarket chiller, so a distributor that serves more than one shelf fills a container faster. The mixed-container page explains how the load is built.
What to send first
The lines from the chocolate page, the confectionery page and the Turkish delight page, the quantity per line, where you clear, and whether any line carries your own brand. The written offer follows within two working days, in US dollars and the inspection stated; the samples page explains how to taste the lines first, and the Kenya page lists what stays the same on every offer.
Every line here is made in our own factory at Başpınar OSB, Gaziantep — a 10,000 m² site, exporting since 2002 — and certificate copies are available on request.
Can a new distributor buy directly from Türkiye?
The unit of sale is one full container. A new distributor buys by the carton from the importer that brings it in, and fills a container when the pallets add up, alone or by pooling an order with others.
Are the sweets wrapped?
Both formats exist: bulk bags and individually wrapped pieces. The offer states the format, the case weight and the pieces per case per line.
Is a reefer needed for sweets?
No. Jellies, wrapped candies, wafers and compound lines travel dry; chocolate lines travel in the reefer, year round on this route.
