Turkish chocolate, confectionery, dragées and Turkish delight for importers in Yemen
One mixed container from Gaziantep, Türkiye, to Aden, Mukalla or Hodeidah: wrapped bars and compound-coated lines for the everyday shelf, wrapped sweets by the kilo bag, dragées for weddings and Eid, Turkish delight and pistachio products, with an Arabic label. Written offer in US dollars within two working days of your list.

One container, every line, from Gaziantep.
We quote for Yemeni food importers and distributors, for the wholesalers that supply groceries, supermarkets and the sweets trade by the carton, for the traders that serve weddings and Eid, and for brands that want chocolate, confectionery or Turkish delight made under their own name. If you are looking for chocolate wholesale Yemen can price by the carton, chocolate importers in Yemen or food importers in Yemen that carry Turkish lines, Turkish chocolate Yemen already knows from the shelf, or Turkish delight Yemen for the gift trade, this is what we quote for. The unit of sale is one full container, mixed across as many lines as you like.
Everything on this site is made in Gaziantep, in our own factory. That is what lets one container carry five product groups, and lets us check a lot before it is packed and photograph the pallets before the doors close. Every line is specified in the offer.
We supply direct from our own factory in Gaziantep, the city we work in.
- Food importers and distributors that supply the groceries, supermarkets and regional wholesalers of Yemen
- Confectionery wholesalers that sell chocolate, wrapped sweets and dragées by the carton to shops and the sweets trade
- Wedding and Eid traders and brands buying dragées, sugared almonds and gift boxes by the carton, or wanting a line made under their own name
Six lines, mixed to your list.
Each line travels on its own pallet; the container is mixed. Outside the core range we source on request and load it in the same shipment.

What stays the same on every offer.
Rates and rules change; the quotation states what applies on the day. These points do not change.
- Label
- An Arabic label, with English alongside if you want it: the name of the food, the ingredient list with allergens, metric net weight, storage, the importer’s name and address, and the production and expiry dates printed on the pack in production. For lines in our standard packs we confirm what the export pack carries; for private label we prepare the label content and check your artwork against it before anything is printed.
- Halal
- Lines with ingredients of animal origin, gelatine in jellies above all, travel with our halal certificate, and the offer names the certifying body per line. Lines without such ingredients are stated as such on the data sheet.
- Customs and entry
- There is no free trade agreement in force between Yemen and Türkiye; the offer states the tariff line for each product and the duty that applies on the day. The importer holds the import licence and the registration on its side, and our certificates, the technical data sheet and the analysis report per line travel with the container. Nothing about duty is printed on this site, because it changes.
- Which port
- Aden, Mukalla or Hodeidah, with the transshipment port stated in the offer. Port access and routings change, so the offer names the port, the transshipment and the delivery term, FCA Gaziantep, FOB Mersin, CIF or DAP, on the day it is written rather than on a page that was written months earlier.
- The everyday shelf
- Turkish confectionery is already on the Yemeni shelf, and the volume sits in the affordable lines: the wrapped bar, the compound-coated line that tolerates a warm shop, wrapped sweets by the kilo bag and the jelly. Those come first on most offers and are stated as chocolate or compound per line. Then the shelf that pays more: the pistachio tablet, boxed Turkish delight, dragées and gift boxes for weddings and Eid.
- Weddings and Eid
- Sugared almonds by colour, chocolate dragées in milk, dark and white, coated nuts, wrapped sweets for the bags and boxed assortments for the table; one colour per carton or mixed, case weight per line in the offer. The dragée page lists the groups, and seasonal ranges are quoted ahead of the season.
- Turkish delight and Turkish sweets
- Boxed Turkish delight from Gaziantep, the pistachio roll and chocolate covered lokum for the gift shelf; the Turkish delight page lists the groups, and plain lines travel dry, which matters on a warm shelf. Most lines are available in our standard packs, so an importer can start without artwork.
- Route
- Sea freight from Mersin, with the transshipment port and the transit stated in the offer. The route and the shelf are warm in every season, so chocolate and chocolate-coated lines are quoted in a reefer year round and compound lines are stated as such; Turkish delight, sugared almonds and jellies travel dry.
- Currency and payment
- Offers in US dollars. Bank transfer only: 50% with the order, 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs. The banking route is agreed before the deposit and the offer states what applies on the day; we do not work with letters of credit.
- Sourced on request
- Outside the core range we buy in what your list needs and load it in the same container: biscuits and wafers in bulk, sugar free Turkish delight, bulk pistachio nuts, nuts and dried fruit in bulk, halva, instant coffee and spices.
Private label chocolate and confectionery for Yemeni brands
Looking for a private label chocolate manufacturer for a Yemeni brand, an own-brand wrapped bar for the grocery shelf, or a dragée line for the wedding trade? We put our own lines under your name: bars, sweets, dragées in doypacks, gift boxes, Turkish delight boxes and jars, with the Arabic label content prepared and nothing printed before you approve it.
Private label for Yemeni brands →Asked before the first list.
Do you work with importers in Yemen?
We quote for food importers, distributors, wholesalers, wedding and Eid traders and private-label brands in Yemen. Send the product references, the quantities you have in mind and the port; the written offer follows within two working days.
Which port do you ship to?
Aden, Mukalla or Hodeidah. Port access and routings change, so the offer names the port, the transshipment and the delivery term on the day it is written.
How is payment handled?
Offers in US dollars, bank transfer only: 50% with the order and 50% before the container leaves, against the loading photographs. The banking route is agreed before the deposit and stated in the offer.
Is everything halal?
Not automatically, and we do not make a blanket claim. Our Halal certificate is held for our factory; the offer states per line which lines it covers and which body issued it, with copies on request, and says plainly where a line is not certified.
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.
Can you make our own brand for the Yemeni market?
Yes — private label is one of our core services. We prepare the Arabic label content, you approve the artwork in writing, and the minimum per line is stated in the offer.
Is Antep Foods a chocolate manufacturer in Türkiye?
Yes. Antep Foods is a manufacturer and exporter in Gaziantep, exporting since 2002. Production takes place in our own factory; certificates and data sheets are issued for our factory. Wholesale only; prices come in a written offer, not on the site.
Send the list. We do the rest.
Send your product list with approximate quantities and the destination port. You get one offer covering every line, then one container, loaded and photographed before the doors close.
