GI / Origin: Mithila Makhana (Bihar)
Why source this product from India
- Bihar (Madhubani, Darbhanga) produces ~90% of the world's fox nut supply. It's a GI-tagged product exclusive to India.
- The traditional popping process (heat + hand-cracking) has no industrial substitute; supply is entirely Indian.
- Growing global recognition as a health snack (low-glycaemic, high-protein) drives demand in the USA, EU, and Middle East.
- FSSAI-approved processors in Darbhanga export directly to retail buyers with private-label capacity.
