Breadfruit (Ulu) Chips — Wholesale B2B Guide
Vacuum fried breadfruit chips (locally: sukun; Pacific: ulu) produced factory-direct in Magelang, Central Java. Written for importers, distributors, food manufacturers, and private-label brand owners evaluating breadfruit as a category addition.
Why breadfruit chips
Breadfruit is a starchy tropical staple with a mild, nutty flavor and a texture between potato and cassava. Vacuum frying at low temperature preserves its natural color, aroma, and most nutrients while removing moisture — the result is a light, crunchy chip with roughly 18–22% oil content, far below conventional deep-fried snacks. For buyers, breadfruit chips fit clean-label, gluten-free, plant-based, and "better-for-you" ranges where cassava and plantain chips are already selling.

OEM & private label
We produce under buyer-owned brands from 1 × 20' FCL. The buyer supplies print-ready artwork; we handle pouch printing, filling, nitrogen flushing, sealing, and cartoning in-house. Nutritional panels, ingredient statements, and destination-market labelling (EU, GCC, US FDA, ASEAN) are prepared with the buyer against a signed spec sheet.
Sourcing & seasonality
Breadfruit in Central Java has two main harvest peaks (roughly March–May and September–November). We hold buffer stock of raw fruit and finished chips between peaks so year-round shipment is possible, though we ask for 4-week forecasts on repeat orders above 5 MT to lock in raw material.
Compliance & documentation
Every shipment ships with Certificate of Analysis (moisture, oil content, microbiological), Halal certificate, Certificate of Origin (Form E, Form D, or generic COO as required), phytosanitary certificate, and packing list. HACCP and ISO 22000 audit reports are available under NDA for buyer due diligence.
