Tomato paste is a food-industry category far more than a retail one: a sauce or ketchup manufacturer, a cannery, a ready-meal producer and a HoReCa distributor all want very different formats of the same product. Türkiye operates at serious scale here — 2024 tomato product exports were around 353 million US dollars, of which roughly 234 million was paste, with about 166 thousand tonnes of concentrate in the 2024/25 season. In this category TeraVella provides sourcing management; we do not claim to own a processing plant or an aseptic line. We verify a producer matching your brief, collect batch analyses, set up format and packaging, and prepare export paperwork.
Sourcing scope
- ✓ Tomato paste: demand-led producer verification across aseptic drum (industrial) and tin or jar (retail) formats
- ✓ Pepper paste (sweet and hot), plus dried tomatoes and tomato concentrate
- ✓ Technical parameters such as Brix, colour and flavour profile defined by the brief, reported through batch-level analysis documents
- ✓ Industrial bulk supply or retail packaging and labelling under your own brand
- ✓ Destination import and labelling requirements mapped together at the start of the process
How the process runs
Format and technical brief
Industrial or retail format, target Brix and colour values, packaging type and destination market are defined together.
Producer verification and sampling
A producer matching the brief is verified, samples and batch analyses are shared, and once approved the specification is put in writing.
Documented shipment
Batch documents and export paperwork are prepared, and any additional destination requirements are confirmed before shipping.
Who it serves
Sauce, ketchup and seasoning manufacturers, canning and ready-meal industry buyers, HoReCa distributors, ethnic food wholesalers, retail chain private-label teams and food ingredient importers. Destination import and labelling compliance is planned on the buyer's side; we take on source verification and the documentation work.

Do you manufacture the tomato paste yourselves?
No. In this category our service is sourcing management: we verify a producer matching your brief, track batch analyses, and manage packaging and shipping as your single point of contact. We make no claim to a processing plant or aseptic filling line of our own.
How large a source is Türkiye in tomato paste?
Türkiye's 2024 tomato product exports were around 353 million US dollars, of which roughly 234 million was paste, and the 2024/25 season produced about 166 thousand tonnes of concentrate. That is a base from which regular industrial-scale supply is realistic.
What is the difference between the industrial and retail formats?
On the industrial side, aseptic drums are the format that feeds a sauce or ketchup manufacturer's line; on the retail side, tins and jars are the consumer pack destined for the shelf. They mean different specifications, different packaging and usually a different buyer, which is why we establish at the start of the brief which one you are targeting.
Which technical parameters are defined?
Parameters such as Brix, colour and flavour profile are defined by the brief and reported through batch-level analysis documents. Which values matter most depends on your end use — sauce, canning or ready meals.
Do EU controls on fresh tomatoes affect paste?
The EU applies pesticide residue checks to a share of fresh Turkish tomato consignments. That does not directly cover processed paste, but it is a meaningful supply-chain signal, which is why raw-material source verification and batch analysis are standard steps in our process.
What are the MOQ and price?
Volume and price depend on format, technical specification, packaging, season and delivery terms. We publish no fixed figures and prepare a verified quotation for each brief.
