From the Earth’s Prime Growing Regions

Reliable, Global Fruit Sourcing

At Brothers International, our strength lies in our decades-long relationships with premier growers and processors worldwide. Because we are not limited by geography, we source every fruit from its optimal growing region, that includes strawberries from the Americas, mangoes from tropical belts, or apples from the finest orchards.

By ensuring fruit is harvested at peak ripeness and processed quickly, we lock in natural flavor, color, and nutrition. This robust, global supply chain guarantees your private label dried fruit brand receives consistent premium quality, reliable year-round availability, and protection against regional crop fluctuations.

A successful private label brand requires a supply chain you can trust. We scour the globe to partner with the world’s most reputable fruit growers, sourcing the finest raw materials from their ideal agricultural climates. This diverse, international sourcing network allows us to mitigate the risks of regional climate events and seasonal shortages. When you partner with Brothers International, you leverage our global purchasing power—ensuring your dried fruit products benefit from competitive pricing, rigorous quality control, and an uninterrupted supply chain.

From the World’s Best Farms

Farm-to-Pouch Quality & Taste

The best private label dried fruit snacks start with the best raw ingredients. That’s why we travel the globe to source exceptional fruits from the specific regions where they grow best. We partner directly with trusted farmers who harvest at the exact moment of peak ripeness. By controlling the quality from the orchard to the processing facility, we ensure that every batch of your private label dried fruit maintains its vibrant color, satisfying texture, and naturally sweet flavor without the need for artificial additives.

Global Sourcing & Supply Chain Resiliency:
Maintaining a reliable, high-volume supply of conventional and organic dried fruit requires an agile, multi-continental agricultural footprint. Because traditional drying (whether hot-air convective tunnel dehydration, gentle belt drying, or sun drying) concentrates whole fruit into dense, shelf-stable ingredients, processing facilities must be strategically located adjacent to prime orchards to harvest fruit at peak sugar maturity and optimal Brix.

Brothers International coordinates an audited sourcing network across the world’s most productive agricultural valleys, balancing harvest windows between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. By sourcing tropicals like mango, pineapple, and banana from Central and South America (Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Peru), and stone fruits like apricots and figs from the Mediterranean basin (Turkey and Spain), we effectively insulate our retail brand partners and industrial co-manufacturers against localized crop failures, unseasonal rainfalls, and regional agricultural gaps.

The primary logistical advantage of dried fruit lies in its ambient shelf stability and optimized payload density. By evaporating up to 80% of native water while concentrating natural sugars and dietary fiber, dried fruit drastically reduces freight volume compared to fresh or frozen produce. This allows Brothers International to maximize ocean container space and domestic dry van payloads, eliminating the high energy overhead and risk of cold-chain failure associated with refrigerated reefers.

Through structured multi-quarter forward contracting and aggregate volume purchasing across our specialized consumer and ingredient divisions, we negotiate secure production allocations and locked-in freight tariffs. This strategic foresight shields private label brand owners, cereal processors, and commercial bakeries from volatile spot-market commodity spikes and international shipping disruptions.

To bridge seasonal harvest gaps and support agile commercial fulfillment, Brothers International maintains strategic buffer inventories within our nationwide warehousing network across North America. We hold ready-to-pack and bulk industrial inventory of core dried fruit varieties including diced and whole Cranberries (infused and unsweetened), Diced Apples, Dried Mango Slices, Blueberries, Tart Cherries, Apricots, and Flaked Coconut.

Quality Assurance & Technical Compliance:
Every production lot of private label and bulk dried fruit distributed by Brothers International undergoes rigorous physical, chemical, and moisture analysis to guarantee a soft, chewy texture, vibrant visual presentation, and long-term microbiological stability. Because the shelf life and textural integrity of dried fruit depend directly on water kinetics, our technical laboratories monitor critical moisture parameters:

Physical purity and the total elimination of foreign material (FM) form the foundation of our quality control protocols. Whole and diced produce streams pass through automated rotary destoners to remove pits and stone fragments, followed by vibratory screens to separate undersized pieces and stem fragments. Finished product passes under continuous inspection systems and multi-frequency metal detectors sensitive to ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless-steel particulate before packaging into master cartons.

Global food safety, clean-label traceability, and regulatory compliance govern our entire private label packaging pipeline. All drying and packaging facilities within our network operate under Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) benchmarks, maintaining current certifications under SQF or BRCGS. Clean-room packaging suites utilize nitrogen flushing, ensuring an ambient commercial shelf. Each shipment arrives accompanied by a complete technical documentation packet, including lot-specific Certificates of Analysis (COA), multi-residue pesticide analyses, heavy metal screening via Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), Kosher and Halal certifications, Non-GMO Project Verification, and USDA National Organic Program (NOP) transaction paperwork.

Optimize Production

Private Label Dried Fruit F.A.Q.

As a globally integrated dried fruit supplier with over 25 years of specialized agricultural procurement experience, Brothers International eliminates the complexities of fragmented international supply chains. We offer an end-to-end turnkey solution: from sourcing raw fruit at peak maturity across the globe to processing, moisture calibration, and final retail packaging. By partnering with us, brands leverage our aggregate purchasing power, gaining protection from spot-market volatility and regional crop shortages. Our fully managed private label dried fruit programs are packed in GFSI-recognized (BRC/SQF) facilities, ensuring that your brand delivers uncompromising food safety, consistent physical quality, and premium flavor to the retail shelf, all backed by an uninterrupted supply chain.

Beyond our role as a bulk dried fruit supplier, Brothers International operates comprehensive co-manufacturing and co-packaging facilities engineered for high-volume commercial execution. We provide custom dry blending, precision dicing, and multi-ingredient formulation—allowing brands to combine dried fruits with nuts, seeds, grains, or functional inclusions into proprietary trail mixes and snack clusters. Our automated packaging suites feature multi-head computer combination weighers, high-speed vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal (VFFS/HFFS) lines, and automated cartoning.

Every packaging line integrates active nitrogen flushing to maintain residual oxygen levels below 2%, alongside continuous in-line checkweighers, multi-frequency metal detection, and dual-energy X-ray inspection. With rigorous allergen segregation protocols and allergen-swab-verified washdown procedures, our facilities support both emerging brands and Fortune 500 CPGs with flexible minimum order quantities (MOQs) and scalable production runs.

  • Traditionally Dried Fruit: Processed using continuous convective hot-air drying tunnels or belt dehydrators, which gently evaporate water while concentrating the fruit’s natural sugars, dietary fibers, and phytonutrients. This yields a dense, pliable, and satisfyingly chewy texture (typically 12% to 18% moisture) that is highly stable for snacking, baking, and trail mixes.

  • Freeze-Dried Fruit: Processed via lyophilization (vacuum sublimation) at sub-zero temperatures. This removes 97% to 98% of the native water without thermal baking, retaining the exact physical geometry, cellular structure, and heat-labile vitamins of the raw fruit. It delivers an ultra-light, airy, and crisp texture with near-zero moisture, making it the premium standard for dry cereal inclusions and clean-label crunch. As a comprehensive dried fruit supplier, we supply both formats tailored to your exact application, texture, and moisture-boundary requirements.

Integrating fruit into dry cereal flakes, nuts, or granolas requires strict osmotic control to prevent the fruit from turning rock-hard or transferring moisture that ruins the crunch of surrounding ingredients. We calibrate our bulk and private label dried fruit to a precise water activity threshold Furthermore, to prevent clumping and ensure free-flowing particulate behavior through high-speed vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) bagging equipment, small fruits (like cranberries and blueberries) can be treated with a calibrated micro-coating of non-GMO high-oleic sunflower oil. This locks in internal moisture, prevents surface agglomeration, and inhibits sugar bloom across long commercial shelf lives.

Yes. Modern consumers demand absolute transparency and clean-label ingredient decks. We supply both conventional and certified USDA Organic private label dried fruit options, backed by complete National Organic Program (NOP) transaction traceability. For some fruits that traditionally rely on sulfur dioxide to prevent browning and maintain bright orange hues, we offer conventional sulfured options graded to strict PPM limits, as well as 100% unsulfured, naturally dark-caramelized options for brands targeting absolute clean-label positioning. Kosher, Halal, and Non-GMO Project Verified certifications are also available to support your specific front-of-pack claims.

We offer end-to-end commercialization support to transition your private label dried fruit concept from the R&D bench to the retail shelf. Our packaging engineers guide your team through material selection, specifically specifying high-barrier metallized films (EVOH or foil laminates) with low moisture vapor transmission rates (MVTR) and utilizing active nitrogen flushing to guarantee 12 to 18 months of ambient shelf stability. We supply custom packaging dielines, review print-ready artwork, and provide regulatory consulting to ensure your packaging meets strict FDA labeling compliance, including accurate Nutrition Facts panels, allergen declarations, and ingredient statements.

As a vertically integrated dried fruit supplier, we support a vast array of automated packaging formats tailored to your distribution channels:

  • Resealable Stand-Up Pouches (DOYpack): The industry standard for premium retail, equipped with press-to-close zippers for multi-serving pantry snacking.
