Initial communication with the client revealed their needs:
They required salted grape leaves with uniform size (10-15cm), a soft texture, and low salt content.
They requested small-sized vacuum packaging.
They hoped we had sufficient inventory to meet their replenishment needs.
To address these needs, we quickly adjusted our production plan:
We added manual sorting during the raw material selection stage to precisely select grape leaves that met the size requirements.
We adjusted the salt solution ratio in the pickling process, reducing the salinity by 15% and extending the pickling time to improve the leaf tenderness.
Packaging consisted of 1.5kg vacuum-sealed packages.
We reserved 50 tons of product meeting the client’s requirements in a warehouse near the shipping port to ensure shipment within 72 hours of order placement.
This first order of 50 tons of customized salted grape leaves was delivered in just 15 days from initial contact and plan adjustments to production and delivery, far exceeding the client’s expected 25-day delivery cycle.
After the product was put into use, the client reported that the taste of the salted grape leaves received unanimous praise from consumers. Currently, this customer has listed us as their main supplier of salted grape leaves.
