Miami Market Supply
PortMiami handles most cumin imports for Florida's food processing sector. Miami buyers need MC grade for grinding plants across South Florida and distribution to Latin American markets. Volume moves through 20ft and 40ft containers, cleared at PortMiami terminals. Local grinding facilities prefer this grade because it balances cost with acceptable purity for powder production. Demand peaks September through February when spice blending operations ramp up. Miami warehouses stock this grade for quick turnaround to regional buyers.

Machine Clean Grade Specifications
This grade runs 94% purity with max 6% foreign matter. Moisture stays under 13%, which prevents clumping in industrial grinders. Volatile oil content between 1.2-2.0% gives adequate flavor for powder blends. Machine cleaning removes most stems and dirt but not sorted like premium grades. Works fine for high-volume grinding where final product gets blended with other spices. No hand-sorting means lower cost per kilo. Good for operations that filter or sieve after grinding.
