Cumin Supply to Jebel Ali Market
Jebel Ali port handles 65% of UAE's spice imports. Re-export demand runs high here—buyers purchase for Saudi Arabia, Oman, and East Africa markets. Eagle sortex grade moves fast because Gulf buyers need machine-cleaned material that passes their lab tests without reprocessing. Container frequency is weekly from Mundra and Pipavav ports. Transit time runs 7-9 days to Jebel Ali Free Zone. Most orders are 20ft containers, around 12-14 MT per shipment. Payment terms are typically LC at sight or 30-day credit for repeat clients.

Eagle Sortex Cleaning Specifications
This grade runs 99% purity minimum after electronic color sorting. Moisture stays below 10.5% for container stability. Foreign matter under 1% because sortex machines remove discolored seeds, stems, and dust. Volatile oil content between 2.2-3.8% meets Gulf food authority standards. Color is uniform brown—no pale or blackened seeds. Works for buyers who need clean material for retail packing or food manufacturing without manual picking. Lab reports show consistent results across shipments.

Pricing and Value Position
Eagle sortex grade costs 8-12% more than Singapore quality but 15-20% less than Europe grade. You skip the reprocessing cost because it's already machine-sorted. Good margin for re-exporters who sell to Saudi and Oman—those markets pay for clean material. Buyers save on labor and rejection losses. Works well when you need consistent quality without paying top-tier prices. Freight to Jebel Ali runs $850-1100 per container depending on season.
