Dried jackfruit is becoming a sought-after product in global health snack aisles, thanks to its tropical flavor, chewy or crispy texture, and clean-label appeal. For importers, retailers, and distributors, buying dried jackfruit in bulk requires careful supplier selection, quality evaluation, and a solid understanding of sourcing channels. This guide outlines where to buy bulk dried jackfruit and how to identify the right partners for your retail or distribution business.

Why Dried Jackfruit Is in Demand

Naturally sweet and high in fiber
Suitable for vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-free diets
Available in multiple formats: chewy, crispy, freeze-dried
High margins for health food, supermarket, and online channels

With demand rising, buyers must source from suppliers who offer not just product volume—but also quality, compliance, and market readiness.

Top Channels to Source Bulk Dried Jackfruit

1. Direct from Manufacturers in Vietnam

Vietnam is a leading origin for dried jackfruit production. Buying directly from certified factories offers benefits like:

Better pricing (no middlemen)
Control over processing specs (e.g., sugar-free, oil-free)
Private label and custom packaging support
Certifications such as HACCP, ISO, Organic, FDA

Tip: Always request samples and verify factory certifications before bulk orders.

2. B2B Marketplaces

Online platforms like Alibaba, Global Sources, and Made-in-China list hundreds of jackfruit suppliers. Use filters to:

Check supplier certifications and years of experience
Compare MOQ and pricing
Evaluate buyer reviews and response rate

Be cautious of trading companies vs. actual factories—look for those with “verified manufacturer” badges.

3. Local Distributors or Brokers

For smaller orders or mixed containers, regional importers may offer repackaged bulk jackfruit from Vietnam or Thailand. This option suits:

Retailers testing new SKUs
Distributors managing varied dried fruit lines
Buyers seeking shorter lead times

Downside: higher cost per kg compared to direct sourcing.

4. Trade Shows and Food Expos

Events like Vietfood & Beverage, Thaifex, and SIAL Paris are ideal for:

Meeting dried fruit exporters face-to-face
Collecting samples and pricing
Exploring custom packaging and product variants

Attending these events gives insights into market trends and supplier innovation.
