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.
