Dried herb
Cut or powdered plant material, the base for blending, encapsulation or your own extraction.
A plain-English guide for businesses buying Sceletium tortuosum (Kanna) in bulk: what you can buy, what to ask, and how sourcing direct from South Africa works.
Sceletium tortuosum is an indigenous South African succulent, and almost all commercial supply starts in the dry regions of the Western and Northern Cape. Buying wholesale means working with a supplier who can connect you to that source reliably, not just a reseller holding a few kilograms of stock.
For most businesses, wholesale simply means ordering in quantities large enough to build a product around: supplement capsules, powders, tinctures, functional drinks or research batches. The right supplier will help you choose a format, confirm the specification, and organise export paperwork so the shipment arrives ready to use.
Most wholesale enquiries fall into one of four groups.
Cut or powdered plant material, the base for blending, encapsulation or your own extraction.
A concentrated, easy-to-handle format for supplement and formulation work.
Suited to tinctures, drinks and liquid products.
Specifications agreed with you, for recurring or branded supply.
Price per kilogram matters, but it is rarely the most important number. A low price from a supplier who cannot document where the plant came from, or who changes quality between batches, costs far more in the end.
Ask for a certificate of analysis for the actual batch you will receive, and ask how the material was grown or harvested, dried and stored. Confirm the minimum order, the typical lead time, and who handles export documents.
