Packers, processors and buyers abroad
Companies that pack under their own brand, process the fruit or sell it on abroad usually look for steady, repeat lots in a specific size number.

Yellow or sun-dried?
Yellow apricots are dried with controlled sulphuring; their bright golden colour and long shelf life stand out. Sun-dried apricots are dried directly in the sun without sulphur and are chosen for their dark bronze colour and natural, additive-free label.

Frequently asked questions
What does calibre (size number) mean?
Calibre shows the number of fruits in 1 kilogram. The smaller the number, the larger the apricot: Jumbo and No 1 are the largest, No 6-8 the smallest. See the detailed table in our calibre and size guide. Calibre and size guide
How are dried apricots stored — can they get infested?
Stored in the right conditions (cool, dry, airtight packaging), dried apricots keep for a long time; if moisture and temperature are not controlled, the risk of infestation rises. We prepared a separate guide with storage advice. Storage and infestation prevention guide
