Benapole Market Access
Benapole land port handles 70% of India-Bangladesh trade volume. Cumin moves through this border in 20ft containers, cleared within 48 hours. Bangladesh buyers prefer sortex cleaned grades for re-export to Middle East markets. Dhaka importers source here because freight costs 40% less than Chittagong sea route. Demand peaks September to February when local crop quality drops. Border proximity cuts transit time to 3 days from Gujarat origins. Buyers pay premium for electronic cleaning because it eliminates manual sorting costs at destination.
