Pakistani Fenugreek Seeds — Non-Indian Alternative for Importers

Full Answer

EU RASFF data shows Indian-origin fenugreek receives approximately 5× more rejection notices per year than Pakistani-origin (~430 IN vs ~80 PK annually for combined herb categories) — driven by pesticide-residue, ethylene oxide, and aflatoxin findings. Pakistani fenugreek cultivation uses different agronomic practices and faces fewer post-harvest treatment issues.
