Frequently asked questions

What buyers and factories ask us

What does Tango Crops do?

Tango Crops is a trading house for peanuts and seeds that sits on both sides of the trade. Partner processors in South America and China sell to international buyers through us as their preferred channel. Buyers mandate us to find the right product at origin: plant, spec, price and timing, and to tell them when to wait. Every shipment runs through the same ten stations, tracked in one system, with one point of contact.

Which products can I buy through Tango Crops?

Peanuts first: raw in-shell and shelled runners, blanched, roasted, fried, chopped, and paste or butter, in counts from 38/42 to 60/70 for raw and 25/29 to 40/50 for blanched. Alongside them, chia (black and white), confectionery and oil-crushing sunflower, and natural or hulled sesame. Counts and grades are indicative and confirmed per contract.

Which origins do you work with?

Argentina, Paraguay and China, where we have our own team on the ground and one partner processor per origin. Argentina is our home market, in Córdoba; Paraguay supplies raw runners, chia and sesame; China supplies blanched, roasted, fried and chopped peanuts and paste. Brazil, the USA and India are followed from public and trade data in our market intelligence only. On the destination side, we ship to Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Oceania.

How do partnerships with factories work?

We work with one processor per origin rather than a directory of suppliers. Each plant produces in certified facilities, is visited by our team at least once a year, and ships every lot with quality certificates checked against spec. In return, the plant treats Tango Crops as its preferred channel to international buyers, so buying from them means talking to us.

How do you handle quality and compliance?

Aflatoxin and pesticide limits are managed per destination market, with EU specs on request. Before departure we check lot-level certificates against the contract spec, and those certificates travel with the documents. Labels and specific requirements are checked at pre-loading, and any claim is handled by the same team that placed the contract.

How is a shipment followed once the contract is signed?

Through the same ten stations every time: booking inside the contract window, pre-loading control, documents (BL, invoice, packing list, certificates) checked and sent, payment followed until closed, and reception at destination. Each shipment carries a checklist and you can ask where yours is at any time.

How do I start working with Tango Crops?

Tell us product, volume and destination, and any timing you have in mind, through the offer form or by email. You will hear back from someone who can quote, with a read on what is realistic on price, origin and crop timing. If it makes sense to wait, we will say so. Factories interested in a partnership can write to us the same way.

Where can I buy Argentine peanuts in bulk?

Through Tango Crops: we source Argentine peanuts from leading shellers in Córdoba on behalf of buyers and quote from our home market, where our team is based. Argentina is the world's leading peanut exporter and a reference supplier for Europe: the 2024/25 crop was estimated at a record 1.81 million tons according to USDA FAS, with the European Union as its main destination. Tell us product, count, volume and destination and you will hear back from someone who can quote.

Which peanut types, counts and forms do you supply from each origin?

Raw in-shell and shelled runners from 38/42 to 60/70, plus splits, from Argentina and Paraguay; blanched whole and splits from 25/29 to 40/50 from China and Argentina; roasted, fried and chopped peanuts from China, with chopped also from Argentina; and natural or stabilized paste and butter from Argentina and China. Counts and grades are indicative and confirmed per contract. Certifications for each factory are available on request.

When is the South American new crop available?

Argentina harvests in the austral autumn, counter-seasonal to the northern hemisphere: the marketing year USDA FAS uses for Argentine peanuts starts in March, and the 2024/25 harvest wrapped up towards late August 2025 after delays caused by excess moisture. Paraguay harvests between January and April, according to the local crop calendar. Timing shifts every season, so before you commit we tell you what is realistic on crop timing, including when to wait.

Can I get samples and specs before signing a contract?

Yes. Samples and specs come before the contract: station 4 of our ten stations, Requirements & samples, confirms documentary and logistics requirements and arranges representative samples if needed, and the contract itself is station 5, your decision. Every plant we work with produces in certified facilities, with certifications per factory on request, and aflatoxin and pesticide limits are managed per destination market, with EU specs on request.

Do you also supply chia, sesame and sunflower seeds?

Yes, from the same origins and the same partner processors as our peanuts. Chia, black and white at 99.9% purity, from Paraguay and Argentina; sunflower, confectionery in-shell and kernels as well as oil-crushing, from Argentina; and sesame, natural and hulled, from Paraguay. Grades are indicative and confirmed per contract.
