A product name alone may not describe everything a buyer needs to plan a purchase. Before agreeing on a supply arrangement, make time to compare expectations on both sides.
Are we discussing the same product?
Confirm the variety or type, size or grade, condition, and any preparation requirements. If appearance matters, use a current photo or agree how a sample will be reviewed.
What quantity and unit are expected?
State the amount and how it is measured. Clarify the minimum order, how the product will be packed or counted, and what should happen if the available quantity changes.
When will it be ready?
Agree on a collection or delivery date and the place where the handover will happen. If timing depends on harvest or preparation, discuss how updates will be shared.
What does the price include?
Confirm the price and its unit, then clarify any costs or arrangements for packing, transport, and payment. Put the agreed details in writing so each side can refer back to them.
These questions are a starting point for a direct conversation. The buyer and supplier should agree on terms that fit their specific product and arrangement.
