With over 8–10 million pounds of premium cherries annually, Sandher engages T&G Global for the sales and marketing of their cherries from Canada.
T&G Global is proud to announce a new strategic relationship with Sandher Fruit Packers—a premier Canadian cherry grower—marking a significant step forward in the North American cherry supply chain. Under this new agreement, T&G will take on responsibility for the sales and marketing of Sandher’s cherries supply, creating a fully integrated marketing model built around a 100% family-owned grower and packer.
With over a decade of experience exporting cherries across Asia, T&G has consistently delivered top volumes to key markets such as Viet Nam, Thailand, China and Taiwan, averaging more than 250,000 (5kg) boxes annually. This new collaboration is expected to significantly accelerate the global growth of premium Canadian cherry exports.
“We’re excited to partner with T&G Global, a company we trust for their world-class export expertise and their ability to consistently deliver top dollar for growers,” said Prab Sandher, President of Sandher Fruit Packers. “We see tremendous value in working with T&G, not only for their market access, but for their shared commitment to quality and long-term relationships.”
Nick Bright, Senior Category Manager at T&G Global, added, “This relationship represents more than just volume; it’s about delivering quality, trust, and long-term value to our customers across Asia. We’re thrilled to represent Sandher globally for their exports and work alongside trusted partners like Oppy for sales and marketing support.”
T&G’s cherry supply program spans North America, starting in California from May 1st to June 8th, followed by Oregon from June 8th to July 30th, and then Canada from July 1st to August 30th. Thanks to Sandher’s recently planted high-elevation orchards, by 2027 the Canadian season will extend into mid-September, offering a significant advantage in late-season markets.
“This season, we’re expecting exceptional fruit—large sizing, high color, and excellent firmness delivered with precision and care,” said Sandher. “Together, we’re setting a new standard for what premium cherry programs can look like.”
Bright believes T&G’s agility during volatile times brings value.
“As we navigate ongoing trade shifts, particularly the impact of tariffs between the U.S. and China, Canadian origin gives us a strong competitive edge for accessing key markets like China,” he said. “Our strategy is to distribute 30% of volume to the U.S., 20% within Canada, and focus the remaining 50% on exports. Markets like China, Korea, Japan, Viet Nam, and Thailand are central to this plan. With Sandher’s ability to meet high-standard protocols like the systems approach, we’re confident in our ability to grow sustainably and deliver exceptional quality worldwide.”
