Organic Botanicals from Romania in Bulk — Wild-Collected and Farm-Cultivated
Bulk botanicals from Romanian wild-collection and farm-cultivated suppliers, organic where the supplier is certified. Sea-buckthorn, rosehip, hawthorn. Quotes via TANDOR.
The Carpathian arc — running through Romania, Ukraine, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary — is one of the last large temperate ecosystems in Europe where wild-collection of medicinal botanicals is still commercially viable at scale. Cold winters, unpolluted forest interiors and traditional gathering knowledge produce raw material that buyers specify by origin; active-compound values are stated per lot on the supplier COA.
TANDOR introduces buyers to Romanian producers of botanicals from two supplier types. The first is wild-collection cooperatives; where they hold an organic certificate, gathering sites are inspected annually under EU Reg. 2018/848 wild-collection rules. The second is farm-cultivated organic operations on the Sub-Carpathian foothills, primarily for sea-buckthorn (Romanian cultivars selected for berry size and oil yield) and lavender (distilled on-site to essential oil). Hawthorn berry and flower, rosehip whole and cut, elderflower, and niche items such as guelder rose round out the active catalogue. Organic lots come with the supplier's certificate and control body identifier; wild-collected lots also state the gathering region and harvest window.
Bulk packaging is standard — 25 kg lined paper sacks for dried herbs, 250-300 kg drums for purees and concentrates, 10-25 kg food-grade containers for honey and oils. Annual programmes are negotiable against harvest seasonality, and we will flag in advance when a category is heading into a tight harvest window so buyers can pre-book volume rather than chase spot-market lots in October. For buyers building cosmetic actives or premium nutraceutical formulations, documented origin can carry marketing weight — origin claims on the finished pack are the brand owner's responsibility. Send specification, target volume and preferred delivery quarter, and we come back by email with named-supplier offers and sample options.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for these botanicals?
MOQ varies by supplier. Submit a request for quote and TANDOR passes on the suppliers' written offers — MOQ, price per kg, lead time and delivery terms — by email.
Are the suppliers certified?
Suppliers share their organic certificate with the buyer; the certificate number can be checked in EU TRACES, and buyers do this check themselves. Certifications such as EU Organic, FairWild, HACCP are stated per supplier on each offer, and the supplier provides a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the offered lot. TANDOR does not certify or guarantee these documents.
