What already sells
The wafer, the wrapped bar, the compound-coated line and the wrapped sweet by the kilo bag: Turkish confectionery sells in Sudan on price and on tolerance to heat, in our standard packs, brought in by importers who know Port Sudan and the paperwork. An importer that wants to add those lines can carry established Turkish chocolate brands from the start; the brands or your own label article goes through the choice, and the confectionery page lists the lines.
What is missing
The occasion trade and the pistachio end. Sudan dresses its weddings and its Eid tables with sweets and chocolate, and the lines that serve them, sugared almonds by colour, chocolate dragées, coated nuts and boxed assortments, come off a coating pan and a boxing line rather than a wafer line; then the pistachio tablet, pistachio cream in jars and boxed Turkish delight for the supermarket and the gift shelf. The dragée page, the pistachio page and the Turkish delight page list the groups.
Turkish companies in Sudan
The search for Turkish companies in Sudan comes from a buyer looking for a counterpart, and the honest answer is that most Turkish producers do not sit in Khartoum; they sell through an exporter and an importer. We are the manufacturer and exporter: every line is made in our Gaziantep factory, the offer states the halal certificate, the data sheet and the label per line, and the importer in Sudan holds the licence. The how we work page goes through the steps.
Who buys the container
The unit of sale is one full container, mixed across lines. A food importer or a wholesale house fills it, with the import licence and the registration on its side; a grocery or a sweets shop buys by the carton from the importer that brings it in. The offer puts the price in US dollars with the tariff line, the duty that applies on the day and the banking route that applies on the day.
Dry or reefer
Wafers, compound lines, wrapped sweets, sugared almonds and Turkish delight travel dry all year; chocolate lines go in the reefer, year round on this route, and are stated as chocolate on the offer. The mixed-container page explains how the load is built, each line on its own pallet, so an importer can add the occasion trade and the gift shelf to an order of the everyday lines it was making anyway.
What to send first
The lines from the chocolate page, the confectionery page and the dragée page, the quantity per line, and whether any line carries your own brand. The written offer follows within two working days, in US dollars, with the certifying body named per line; the samples page explains how to taste the lines first, and the Sudan 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 we carry Turkish brands or do we need our own?
Both. Most lines are available in our standard packs from the first container; on selected lines the same products can be made under your own name.
Are there Turkish producers in Sudan?
Most sell through an exporter and an importer. We are the manufacturer and exporter; every line of the offer is specified.
Is the container a reefer?
For chocolate lines, yes, year round on this route. Compound lines and dry lines are quoted as the offer states.
