Cumin Seeds Suppliers & Exporters from India
Joshi Foods and Spices is a trusted manufacturer, supplier and exporter of cumin seeds (Jeera) from Mahuva, Gujarat, India. We supply consistent, machine-cleaned and sortex-cleaned whole cumin seeds (Cuminum cyminum) to food processors, spice blenders, importers and B2B buyers across the USA, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Ukraine, Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia and the Baltics.
Our cumin seeds carry a bold earthy aroma and clean pungency — the benchmark quality demanded by premium spice manufacturers worldwide. All our export lots strictly adhere to ASTA (American Spice Trade Association) and ESA (European Spice Association) cleanliness standards. As direct manufacturers located in Gujarat — India's prime cumin production belt — we offer competitive FOB Mundra, CFR and CIF pricing for bulk container shipments.
Why India is the World's Largest Cumin Supplier
India produces over 70% of the world's cumin seeds, making it the undisputed global leader in cumin supply and export. The states of Gujarat and Rajasthan are the primary cumin growing regions, with the Unjha belt in North Gujarat being the world's largest cumin trading hub — handling millions of tonnes of cumin transactions every season.
Cumin from Gujarat is renowned for its bold seed size, high volatile oil content (2.5–4%), and strong characteristic aroma — qualities that make Indian cumin the preferred choice for spice manufacturers in the USA, Europe, Middle East, and Far East. Our facility in Mahuva sources directly from Gujarati farmers, giving us direct control over quality from farm to container.
