Turkish chocolate in India: the dry fruits trade, the wholesale markets and the pistachio end

Buyers are large and the shelf they point at is unusual. In India Turkish chocolate sells through the dry fruits shops as much as through the chocolate aisle. Here is why, and what an importer orders. The pistachio percentage is the number that separates two bars that look identical, and it is stated per line in the offer.

The dry fruits shop

Walk into a dry fruits and imported chocolates shop in Mumbai, Delhi or Hyderabad and the Turkish chocolate sits next to the pistachio, the dates and the almonds, because that is how it arrived: through the importers who already brought nuts and dates from the Gulf and Türkiye. The shop sells by weight and by the box, gifts as much as groceries, and its customer already knows the word Turkish. That is the shelf the searches point at, and it is a trade we quote through the importers that fill it.

What sells

The pistachio tablet and Turkish chocolate with pistachios first, because the shop sells pistachio anyway and the customer pays for it. The Dubai style bar with pistachio and kadayif, which India searched for by the thousand before it reached the shelf. Pistachio cream in jars. Then the everyday wrapped bar and the kilo assortment for the wholesale markets, and dragées and coated nuts for the hamper. The chocolate page and the pistachio page list the groups; the Dubai chocolate article explains the bar.

Pistachio price and the pistachio in the bar

India searches for pistachio price far more than for pistachio chocolate, and the two are related: the customer who knows the price of pista knows what a pistachio tablet should cost. The pistachio in the tablets, the spread and the lokum roll is the Gaziantep kernel, stated per product on the data sheet; bulk pistachio nuts from Gaziantep are sourced on request for the same importers, in the same container.

Vegetarian, and the mark

The dry fruits shop’s customer reads the vegetarian mark before the price. Chocolate and sugared almonds are usually vegetarian by recipe; jellies and some dragée glazes may not be; the data sheet decides per product and the mark is placed before printing. The importing article covers the label.

Diwali and the hamper

Diwali chocolate gift hampers, corporate Diwali gifts, wedding return gifts: the season is when the dry fruits shop and the gifting company become the same customer, packing imported chocolate boxes, dragées and coated nuts next to dry fruits. Turkish delight boxes serve the gift that is neither chocolate nor mithai. Diwali ranges are ordered ahead of the season, with the lead time per line in the offer. The India page lists what stays the same on every offer.

What to send

A first message is short: references from the chocolate page, quantities, port. The offer that comes back is not — it carries the specification, the pallet plan and the minimum, line by line.
