The dry apricot (Prunus armeniaca) is a popular, high-energy dried fruit commodity that enjoys steady volume demand across global bakery, confectionery, and retail snack channels. Aba Impex sources its dry apricots from renowned sun-drenched valleys where centuries-old stone fruit orchards produce apricots with deep sweetness and rich fiber structures. Our apricots are hand-picked at full maturity, pitted carefully by hand or advanced machinery, and dried naturally under controlled conditions to lower moisture content while preserving the fruit’s soft texture. We manage both sulfur-treated bright orange apricots—prized for their striking visual display in Western retail markets—and organic, unsulfured brown apricots sought after for their natural flavor profiles. Through strict sizing, washing, and moisture monitoring, we prevent internal fermentation or mold formation during transit, ensuring international buyers receive premium dried fruit with long storage stability.

Types

• • Sulfured Dry Apricots (Bright orange, long visual shelf-life)
  • Natural / Unsulfured Dry Apricots (Dark brown, organic, earthy sweetness)
  • Diced / Industrial Slices (Geared for cereal and baking industries)
