Before comparing two premix prices for a Middle Eastern or Southeast Asian nutrition project, compare where each supplier's quoted work ends.
SternVitamin's public development process separates specification clarification, sample testing at the customer's site, possible adjustments and approval from subsequent production and delivery.
A standard premix supply offer and a project including application adjustment are different scopes. Their price per kilogram does not tell you which work the brand and co-manufacturer still have to do.
Record three commercial facts beside the price: the agreed premix deliverable, the finished-product work remaining, and whether application support is included or separately agreed.
This is not an assessment of any supplier's quotation. It is a way to avoid comparing a supplied ingredient with a development package as if they were the same purchase.
Country-specific product requirements remain a separate part of the brief. A regional concept is not a substitute for settling the intended market and responsibilities.
