Supplier identification

Sourcing from the heart of the Algerian date region
We find the suppliers behind Algeria's best dates
We work the on-the-ground relationships the industry runs on — growers, producers, cooperatives, and more — and bring that knowledge straight to your supply chain.
Saharan Sourcing is a flat-fee sourcing business for the Algerian date and date-derivative industry. We handle supplier identification, quotes and price negotiation, sample coordination, quality monitoring and control, procurement, and shipping logistics.

Why Algeria
A region the varieties call home
Geography matters in the date trade. Two of the world’s most valued varieties are grown where we work — and our team lives there.
Deglet Nour
The world’s number one producer
Algeria is the number one producer of deglet nour dates — one of the top-ranked date varieties in the world. When you source from us, you source from the heart of the deglet nour region.
Kentichi/Mesh Degla
Built for Date Sugar and Syrup
Algeria is also known for its kentichi/mesh degla variety, which is excellent for date sugar and syrup and carries a better nutrient profile than the vast majority of other date varieties.
How we work
Transparent by design
No hidden commissions, no withholding of information, no secrets. You know exactly what’s happening all the way through.
A flat fee, not a commission
We charge a flat fee, never a commission — and each quote is itemized, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. There are no hidden fees and no inflated supplier invoices.
Complete supplier information
No withholding of information, no secrets. You get the full picture of whom you’re buying from, so that next time you can work directly with the supplier.
Original invoices
We hand you the original invoices. What the supplier charged is what you see — nothing is padded along the way.
On-the-ground quality control
Our agents live in the heart of the Algerian date region. We handle our own quality control checks, so you can be confident in what arrives.
Self-assessment
When do you need a sourcer?
If you’re happy with your suppliers and their charges, timeliness, quality, and communication, you don’t need one. But if any of these is true, you might find a sourcer helpful:
- You’re looking to introduce a new product
- Communication with your suppliers has grown difficult over time
- You’re not sure you’re getting the best deal you could from your suppliers
- Your suppliers are always behind schedule
- You’re looking for a higher quality product or packaging
- You’re just starting out in the industry
- Your competitor seems to have better suppliers than you do
