Global cumin trade is dominated by India, Iran, Pakistan, and (smaller volume) Turkey, Syria, Egypt. Pakistani-origin cumin sees rising demand from EU and US buyers post-2023 due to: (1) significantly lower EU RASFF rejection rate vs Indian-origin; (2) cleaner banking and shipping channel vs Iranian-origin (no sanctions-related friction); (3) consistent essential-oil content in Sindh-Balochistan cultivation.
Kohenoor International sources from Sindh and Balochistan cultivation, with sortex cleaning, color sorting, and SGS lab verification. Standard grade: ≥98% purity, ≤8% moisture, ≤2% foreign matter. Essential-oil content typically 2.5–4.5% (steam distillation verified).
Documentation: SGS COA with essential-oil %, pesticide screen against EU MRL panel, aflatoxin B1/B2/G1/G2 within EU limits, ethylene oxide screen, ash content. HACCP, Halal (PHA/SANHA), Phytosanitary Certificate per shipment.
Primary export markets: USA (post-Indian-RASFF cohort), Germany, Netherlands, UAE (re-export), Saudi Arabia, Egypt (mass-market), UK. Transit: NY/NJ 28–32 days, Rotterdam 25, Jebel Ali 5, Alexandria 14–18, Hamburg 25, Felixstowe 25.
