Agro Bumi Sumatera – Demand for young areca nut is growing steadily in international markets because this raw material is used across industries: traditional food, herbal products, and the extraction of active compounds.
In the flow of global trade, buyers look for suppliers who are consistent, transparent, and able to protect quality from the plantation to the port.
PT. Agro Bumi Sumatera exists to meet that need. We supply young areca nut directly from selected plantations in Muaro Jambi, Indonesia, an area recognised as one of the country’s areca nut centres.
With the young areca nut we supply, you get clear specifications, a disciplined selection process, and assured quality documentation.
The export-quality young areca nut specifications below are designed to make your procurement efficient and precisely targeted.
Young Areca Nut Export Specifications from Agro Bumi Sumatera
Product type: Young areca nut
Young areca nut is fruit harvested at an early stage of maturity, with relatively higher moisture content than mature areca nut.
This characteristic suits industries that process areca nut into fresh slices, controlled fermentation, or moisture-dependent extraction.
The correct harvest phase helps buyers set production parameters from the outset.
Lead time from raw material to finished product becomes more predictable because the fruit’s tissue profile is still pliable and easy to work with.
Origin: Local farmer plantations in Muaro Jambi, Indonesia
Muaro Jambi has agroclimatic conditions that support areca nut productivity: evenly distributed rainfall, fertile soil, and cultivation practices handed down over generations.

This ecosystem produces fruit with stable size and a uniform endocarp wall.
We partner with local farmers through a quality development scheme that runs from seed selection to harvest.
The supply chain sits close to the consolidation point, so the time from plantation to warehouse is short, which affects product freshness when it reaches the sorting facility.
Size: approximately 2-4 cm diameter
We set the 2-4 cm range to meet market demand for a balance between ease of slicing and packing efficiency.
At this size, you receive approximately 22,000-40,000 nuts per tonne, based on an estimated weight of 25-45 grams per nut.
This sizing minimises empty space inside packaging, which makes logistics cost per tonne more efficient.
That consistency makes it easier for buyers to standardise their own processes.
Moisture: approximately 30-35% (fresh) or 15-20% (semi-dry)
Moisture is a critical factor in determining shelf life and the intended use of young areca nut.
For the fresh category, 30-35% moisture supports industries that need high moisture content, such as initial fermentation or direct consumption in certain traditions.
Semi-dry areca nut at 15-20% moisture is more stable for long cross-border journeys because the risk of mould is lower.
This option gives buyers flexibility: fresh product for fast processing, or semi-dry product for wider distribution.
Skin colour: Yellowish green
A yellowish green colour indicates the correct harvest phase for the young areca nut category.
This visual indicator signals that the fruit tissue is still fresh and the water content sits at a level that supports initial processing.
Colour standards help the buyer’s quality control (QC) team verify quickly at goods receipt.
Sampling at the warehouse door becomes faster because the visual parameters were locked in at our sorting stage.

Condition: Clean, mould-free, and not rotten
We apply clean handling from harvest onward: field sorting, initial cleaning, and packing in dry, ventilated containers.
The aim is simple: prevent fungal contamination and preserve the physical quality of the fruit.
Mould-free, non-rotten condition reduces quality claims and extends product stability during cross-border transit.
Off-odours can be suppressed, so when the container is opened the material remains fit for processing without delay.
Aroma: Natural and characteristic of areca nut
A natural, characteristic areca nut aroma is a marker of raw material integrity. A clean aroma profile helps industries that are sensitive to odour, such as food and herbal processing.
The correlation between aroma and condition is strong: fruit that is clean and unexposed to mould tends to retain a fresh scent.
When sanitation, ventilation, and shipping temperature are maintained, the aroma profile stays consistent from our warehouse to your facility.
