South America focused sourcing built for consistency, traceability, and scale.
What origin sourcing means at ABrazil
We source through qualified partners across Brazil and South America, prioritizing consistent regions and established suppliers whenever possible. Our network supports multiple ingredient formats—including powders, extracts, and frozen/pulp—and is built on documented processes that support reliable quality and commercial supply.
- Multi-format sourcing: powders, extracts, and frozen/pulp
- Documented supplier qualification and technical review
- Lot-level traceability to support dependable supply
Supplier Qualification
ABrazil follows a structured supplier qualification process to evaluate partners before approval, focusing on specifications, processing capability, documentation, and supply reliability. We review technical documents and certifications (when applicable), assess quality practices, and set expectations for consistency, change management, and traceability. Suppliers are expected to operate in alignment with applicable food safety and quality frameworks, including FSMA requirements and recognized programs such as FSSC 22000, GMP, or equivalent standards depending on product category and facility.
- Technical review: specs, processing, and documentation
- Certifications and food safety programs reviewed when applicable (e.g., FSMA alignment, FSSC 22000, GMP, organic, non-GMO)
- Defined requirements for change control, documentation, and traceability
Consistency Approach
Agricultural ingredients naturally vary, so ABrazil manages consistency through sourcing strategy, specification control, and ongoing monitoring. We prioritize stable regions and qualified partners, maintain aligned secondary sources for continuity, and define practical specification ranges to support formulation needs.
- Preferred regions/partners plus pre-aligned secondary sources
- Practical spec ranges to manage natural variation
- Lot-to-lot monitoring (actives, color, moisture) with change control
Harvest Season Planning
Because certain fruits and botanicals vary by season, ABrazil works proactively with our sourcing partners to plan ahead for harvest timing, availability, and production scheduling. Early planning helps support continuity of supply and reduces surprises related to seasonal variability. For higher-volume programs, we recommend sharing annual forecasts to help secure raw material and production windows in advance.
- Seasonal availability planning based on harvest windows and regional conditions
- Forecast alignment to reserve raw material and schedule production when needed
- Proactive communication when seasonal conditions may affect lead time or specifications
