7 Common Mistakes in Chicory RFQs (and How to Avoid Them)

Fix vague chicory inquiries — product form, quantity, Incoterms, and specs that delay export quotes.

Mistakes we see weekly

  • Writing only “chicory powder” with no mesh or instant vs milled note
  • No destination country
  • No quantity (sample vs FCL)
  • No Incoterms preference
  • Mixing organic requirement without saying so
  • Asking for retail consumer packs on a bulk export RFQ
  • Skipping sample approval then rejecting the commercial lot on color

A clean RFQ template

Product form + quantity + destination + Incoterms + packing + any mesh/roast/moisture notes. That set alone usually unlocks a first commercial response within one to two business days subject to grade availability.
