China’s dried fruit sector is becoming more visible in global ingredient and retail supply chains. This overview examines China’s top 10 U100 dried cherry 85g suppliers through quality, capacity, packaging, and export reliability. The focus is commercial usefulness, not simple ranking.
The International Nut and Dried Fruit Council’s Statistical Yearbook provides important context on global dried fruit production and trade. UN Comtrade data can also help compare China’s dried fruit export activity by relevant product categories. However, cherry-specific figures are often grouped with broader dried fruit classifications. That limitation matters. U100 is a commercial size description, not a universally harmonized international grade.
A reliable supplier should show product specifications, origin records, lot numbers, and recent laboratory results. Buyers should check moisture, water activity, sulfite declarations, foreign-material controls, and microbiological testing. An 85g pouch should also survive carton compression, humid warehouses, and repeated shelf handling. Practical sourcing checks reveal details that brochures often omit. The best candidates should provide traceable samples before volume orders. Their packaging must protect the fruit’s deep red color, soft bite, and clean cherry aroma.
This guide uses supplier evidence, public trade references, and food-safety expectations to support a more careful comparison. Some company information may change quickly. Readers should verify certifications and factory status directly. A polished website is not proof. Reliable documentation is stronger. The phrase u100 dried cherry 85g dried fruit may describe a useful retail format, but buyers still need to confirm the exact grading standard with each supplier.
U100 is a commercial size code, not a universal legal grade for dried cherries. It generally means fewer than 100 pieces per pound, or about 220 pieces per kilogram. At this size, one dried cherry should weigh over 4.5 grams. An 85g pouch may therefore contain roughly 18 pieces, although moisture and fruit shape can change the count. This matters when comparing suppliers.
The United States Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Marketing Service evaluates dried fruit through factors such as color, defects, cleanliness, moisture, and condition. However, U100 alone does not confirm these qualities. Buyers should request moisture results, foreign-material controls, microbiological testing, and net-weight verification. The International Nut and Dried Fruit Council’s 2024 statistical review places global dried-fruit production at approximately 3 million metric tonnes, while dried cherries remain a smaller specialty category. That limited volume makes consistent sizing more difficult. In practice, I would inspect several cartons, not one sample. A few oversized cherries can create a misleading impression. Supplier specifications should also state whether the count is measured before or after processing, because that detail is often unclear. For an 85g product, stable piece count, even color, flexible texture, and sealed packaging are more useful indicators than the U100 label alone.
