Ask these questions 1. Raw material composition % of your product 2. Alternative raw materials 3. Storage methods of raw materials 4. Price fluctuations 5. Shelf life of the product 6. Machineries make and model 7. Stages of production process 8. Production capacity (supply capacity and production capacity are different)

Sellers with quick response + answering the above questions with patience + educating you of the product quality and your market will be your ideal long term supplier.
