Qinhuangdao Baifeng Food Co.,Ltd Supplier Evaluation

Executive Summary

Qinhuangdao Baifeng Food Co., Ltd is a China-based food supplier located in Hebei, with a reported factory area of 28,000+ square meters and 320+ staff. The company presents a relatively solid production base for roasted chestnut and chestnut snack products, with product listings showing MOQ levels of 500 bags and unit prices mainly within CN¥2.71–5.08. On the platform side, the supplier has 5 years as an Gold Supplier, supports Trade Assurance, and is marked as a verified supplier, which provides a reasonable level of procurement credibility. Business performance shows mixed signals: the past six months recorded only 8 orders, but transaction value exceeded CN¥2.5M, indicating larger-value orders despite limited order count. The supplier also has a 5.0 store rating, though based on only 3 reviews. Overall, this supplier appears suitable for buyers seeking chestnut-based snack products with moderate customization needs and strong delivery reliability, while review volume and order frequency remain key validation gaps.

Detailed Analysis

1. Company Strength

Basis
- Factory location: Hebei, China
- Factory area: 28,000+ sqm
- Employees: 320+ staff
- Verified/audited supplier status: True

Elaboration
The supplier has a clearly stated physical production base with a factory size above 28,000 sqm and more than 320 employees. This indicates a meaningful manufacturing scale rather than a small trading-only operation. The verified supplier status further supports the existence of some level of platform-backed supplier validation.

Scoring Rationale
The company demonstrates stronger-than-basic production capacity through both factory size and workforce scale. While the data supports a stable manufacturing profile, there is no additional information on annual capacity, production lines, export volume, or detailed factory audit reports. Therefore, the score is high but not placed at the absolute top of the range.

Final Score
18 / 20

2. Platform & Compliance Credibility

Basis
- Gold Supplier: True
- Gold Supplier duration: 5 years
- Trade Assurance: True
- Verified supplier: True
- Platform/industry tags: Finished product inspection, Minor customization, ODM service available, Response time ≤5h

Elaboration
The supplier has several important platform credibility indicators, including Gold Supplier status, 5 years of platform history, Trade Assurance support, and verified supplier status. These elements reduce basic sourcing risk and provide buyers with a more structured transaction framework.

Scoring Rationale
A 5-year Gold Supplier history combined with Trade Assurance and verification provides a credible platform profile. The available compliance-related tags are useful, especially Finished Product Inspection. However, the data does not provide detailed third-party certifications, food safety certificates, audit documents, or full certification scope. As a result, credibility is strong but not fully comprehensive.

Final Score
18 / 20

3. Business Performance

Basis
- Orders in past 6 months: 8
- Transaction value in past 6 months: CN¥2.5M+
- Store rating: 5.0
- Review count: 3

Elaboration
The supplier shows a relatively high transaction value of more than CN¥2.5M over the past six months, but this is supported by only 8 recorded orders. This suggests that the supplier may have handled larger-value transactions, although the order frequency is not high. The store rating is excellent at 5.0, but the review base is very small.

Scoring Rationale
The high transaction amount is a positive indicator of commercial activity and buyer trust, but the limited order count and only 3 reviews reduce the strength of the business validation. The supplier cannot be classified as having high-volume platform sales based on the current data. A mid-to-high score is appropriate due to the strong transaction value but limited review and order depth.

Final Score
15 / 20

4. Service Capability

Basis
- Communication response time: ≤5h
- Customization-related tags: Minor customization, ODM service available
- Full Customization: Insufficient Data

Elaboration
The supplier provides a stated response time within 5 hours, which is acceptable for standard B2B communication but does not meet the strongest benchmark of response within 1 hour. The availability of minor customization and ODM service suggests some flexibility in product or packaging adaptation, but the data does not confirm full customization capability.

Scoring Rationale
Service capability appears adequate for buyers requiring basic customization or ODM support. However, because the response time is not within 1 hour and Full Customization is not confirmed, the supplier should not receive a top-tier service score. The available data supports a solid but not exceptional service capability.

Final Score
7 / 10

5. Delivery Performance

Basis
- On-time delivery rate: 100.0%

Elaboration
The supplier reports a 100.0% on-time delivery rate, which is the strongest delivery indicator provided in the dataset. This is highly relevant for procurement planning, especially for buyers managing inventory cycles or seasonal snack product demand.

Scoring Rationale
According to the scoring standard, an on-time delivery rate above 90% qualifies for 9–10 points. Since the reported rate is 100.0%, the supplier receives the maximum score in this category. No negative delivery data is provided.

Final Score
10 / 10

6. Quality & Customer Feedback

Basis
- Store rating: 5.0
- Review count: 3
- Finished Product Inspection: Listed
- Verified/audited supplier: True

Elaboration
The supplier has a perfect store rating of 5.0, and the presence of Finished Product Inspection provides a positive quality-control signal. Verified/audited supplier status also supports basic supplier reliability. However, the customer feedback base is limited, with only 3 reviews available, which weakens the statistical confidence of the rating.

Scoring Rationale
The quality indicators are generally positive, especially the 5.0 rating and Finished Product Inspection tag. However, the limited number of reviews prevents the supplier from being rated as having broadly validated customer satisfaction. Detailed food safety certifications, inspection reports, defect rates, or complaint records are not provided, so the score remains below the highest range.

Final Score
16 / 20

Total Score

84 / 100

Procurement Recommendation

Cooperation is recommended with controlled procurement risk management. Qinhuangdao Baifeng Food Co., Ltd appears suitable for buyers sourcing roasted chestnuts, chestnut snacks, and related ready-to-eat chestnut products, especially where MOQ of 500 bags and moderate customization or ODM support are acceptable.

The main strengths are its 28,000+ sqm factory scale, 320+ staff, 5-year Gold Supplier status, Trade Assurance support, verified supplier status, CN¥2.5M+ recent transaction value, and 100.0% on-time delivery rate.

Key risks include the low number of recent orders, limited review count, and insufficient data on full customization, detailed food safety certifications, production capacity, and third-party quality audit documentation. Growth potential is supported by its factory scale, platform credibility, and strong delivery record, but buyers should request updated certification documents, product specifications, inspection standards, and sample validation before placing larger orders.
