India-origin product

Several spice varieties, including Lakadong turmeric (highest natural curcumin globally), Wayanad black pepper, Guntur chilli, and Munnar cardamom, are GI-tagged exclusively to India. No other country can ship these specific cultivars under their varietal names.

GI / Origin: Lakadong Turmeric · Wayanad Pepper · Guntur Chilli · Eastern Himalayan Large Cardamom

Why source this product from India

  • India is the world's largest producer, consumer, and exporter of spices, accounting for ~75% of global production by volume.
  • Single-source advantage: turmeric (Erode, Lakadong), black pepper (Wayanad), cardamom (Idukki), and chilli (Guntur) all originate from specific Indian agro-climatic clusters that no other producer replicates at scale.
  • India's Spice Board RCMC infrastructure pre-screens for ASTA cleanliness, heavy-metal limits, and aflatoxin, documentation that LATAM and North African customs accept directly.
  • Steam-sterilisation capacity at Kochi and JNPT lets us ship EU-compliant cargoes without third-country re-export overhead.

Steam-sterilised option available for whole spices. We file every document with the shipping bill via ICEGATE before dispatch.

EXW (Ex Works) is available on request. INCOTERMS 2020 rules apply and are locked in writing on the proforma.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for export from India?
MOQ depends on category. Rice and spices: typically 1 × 20-ft FOB container (~25 MT for rice). Pharma raw and nutraceuticals: 50 kg starter quantity for sample, scaling to drum quantities. Electronics, fashion, handicrafts: mixed-container loading available, lower MOQs negotiated case by case. Send your spec; we quote both the MOQ and the next price break.
