Fujairah Market Overview
Fujairah port handles direct container traffic from India with 8-10 day transit. UAE imports around 45,000 MT peanuts annually, mostly for re-export and local processing. Buyers here prefer HPS grades because they balance cost with acceptable defect levels. Free zone facilities near port allow quick customs clearance. Most orders go to snack manufacturers in Sharjah and Dubai industrial zones. Container stuffing happens at Gujarat ports—Mundra or Kandla. Buyers typically order 1-2 containers monthly for consistent supply to production lines.

Grade Specifications
This grade runs max 10% moisture content, 3% admixture with up to 5% defective kernels allowed. Count sits at 60-70 kernels per ounce, meaning medium-sized nuts. For budget snack lines, this works because slight color variation or minor skin damage doesn't affect roasted product taste. Hand-picked process removes stones and foreign matter. Shelf life runs 6-8 months in cool storage. Good for coating, frying, or grinding into paste where appearance matters less than flavor.
