Frequently Asked Questions

Indian mustard seeds, particularly from Gujarat and Rajasthan, offer the highest oil content (42-48%) among global producers. The favorable semi-arid climate, traditional farming practices, and specific varieties like Brassica juncea produce seeds with superior oil yield and quality. India's production scale (12 million tons annually) ensures consistent supply and competitive pricing for international oil mills and biodiesel manufacturers.
Indian brown mustard (Brassica juncea) contains higher oil content (42-48%) compared to yellow mustard (30-35%) and has more intense pungency due to higher AITC content (0.8-1.2%). This variety is specifically adapted to Indian growing conditions and offers better economics for oil extraction. Black mustard (Brassica nigra) has the highest pungency but lower oil content and requires hand harvesting, making it premium priced for condiment applications.
We maintain quality through strategic sourcing from multiple regions (Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana) with different micro-climates, ensuring harvest diversity. Our quality control includes pre-procurement testing, standardized processing protocols, proper storage in temperature-controlled facilities, and batch blending to achieve consistent oil content and purity levels. All shipments undergo comprehensive testing for moisture, oil content, foreign matter, and chemical parameters before export.
Minimum orders: 1000 kg for spot purchases, 5000 kg for contract supplies, 20 MT for container loads. A 20ft container typically loads 18-24 MT depending on packaging (jute bags load less than PP bags). Lead times: 7-14 days for immediate shipment, 21-30 days during peak harvest season (February-April). We offer flexible packaging from 25kg bags to 1200kg FIBC bags based on customer requirements and destination port handling capabilities.
Yes, we provide free samples up to 500g for quality evaluation with comprehensive test reports including: oil content analysis, moisture content, foreign matter percentage, 1000-seed weight, purity analysis, and basic chemical parameters. Samples represent actual export stock, not separate sample lots. We also provide NABL-accredited laboratory reports for aflatoxin, pesticide residues, and heavy metals upon request for serious buyers.
Standard payment terms: 30-50% advance against proforma invoice, balance against shipping documents or LC at sight. We accept LC (Letter of Credit), TT (Telegraphic Transfer), and DA (Documents Against Acceptance) for established buyers. Export financing available through ECGC-backed facilities for regular customers. Price quotations valid for 7-15 days depending on market volatility. All prices quoted are FOB Indian ports unless specified otherwise.
Yes, we supply certified organic mustard seeds with NPOP (India), EU Organic, USDA Organic, and JAS Organic certifications. All varieties are naturally non-GMO as no genetically modified mustard varieties are commercially cultivated in India. Organic seeds command 15-25% premium pricing and require separate storage, handling, and transportation to maintain certification integrity. Minimum order quantities for organic products are higher due to specialized processing requirements.
