From quiet launch to market success

The response from our existing customers in Kazakhstan, Russia, and the wider Middle East has been exceptional.

These are not new buyers. They are long-term partners who run supermarket retail operations in their home markets. They know what sells. And they've been expanding their orders for sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds steadily over the past few months.

The word has spread. Other buyers in the region have started asking about these products. The reality is: our production capacity hasn't kept up with demand.

Building new capacity

We are now constructing a new production line dedicated to sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. This will significantly increase our output once completed.

However, we want to be transparent with our customers: we are not turning away new inquiries. While capacity is tight, we are accepting orders on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage interested buyers to reach out early to secure production slots.

Product specifications

Both products are ready-to-eat and available for private label (OEM) or bulk supply.

Why seeds are a smart addition to your snack portfolio

The global snack market reached USD 693 billion in retail sales in 2024, with savory snacks leading the category. Consumers increasingly demand nutritious, plant-based snack options that fit busy lifestyles.

Sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds are perfectly positioned for this moment. Even more importantly, they complement our core peanut business—allowing our customers to source multiple snack products from one reliable supplier.

Sunflower seeds: A nutrient powerhouse

Sunflower seeds are among the best sources of vitamin E, providing approximately 49% of the daily value per ounce. They are also rich in selenium, copper, magnesium, and B vitamins.

The healthy fats in sunflower seeds are mostly unsaturated, and studies show swapping saturated fats for polyunsaturated fats can help lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol.

Pumpkin seeds: A nutritional all-rounder

Pumpkin seeds are an exceptionally nutrient-dense food, delivering high levels of protein, fiber, healthy fats, zinc, and magnesium.

Pumpkin seeds also contain phytoestrogens, which some evidence suggests may help reduce breast cancer risk. With a texture that is both crisp and satisfying, they are delicious and versatile—great for snacking, baking, or topping salads and yogurt.

Choosing to offer both

Here's a quick comparison:

The smartest approach? Offer both. They provide complementary nutritional profiles, appeal to different consumer preferences, and increase your overall product range with minimal sourcing complexity.

Sustainable sourcing from China

China is one of the world's top five sunflower seed exporters, contributing over $679 million in exports in 2022. The country's agricultural infrastructure supports consistent yields and high processing standards, particularly in key production zones such as Inner Mongolia and Hebei.

As Qingdao-based manufacturers, we benefit from proximity to major export ports including Qingdao itself, Tianjin, and Dalian, ensuring efficient logistics for international shipments.

What our customers are saying

One supermarket buyer from Kazakhstan recently told us:

"Your roasted sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds have performed exceptionally well on our shelves. The sea salt flavor sells out quickly, and the original pumpkin seeds have become a favorite among health-conscious customers. We've placed three repeat orders in six months."

Looking ahead

The new production line is progressing. Once operational, we will have significantly more capacity to serve customers across the Middle East, Central Asia, Europe, and beyond.

In the meantime, we welcome new and existing customers to reach out. Whether you are a distributor, supermarket chain, or snack brand, we invite you to request samples and discuss how our roasted sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds can strengthen your product lineup.
