Psyllium Husk Supply to Kuala Lumpur Market
Kuala Lumpur sources psyllium through Port Klang, Malaysia's main gateway handling 13 million TEUs annually. The bakery sector here uses psyllium as a gluten substitute and fiber booster in bread formulations. Local demand runs around 40-60 tons monthly, mostly from industrial bakeries and bread improver manufacturers. Indian origin psyllium dominates because of competitive pricing and consistent supply. Transit time from Mundra or Nhava Sheva is 12-14 days direct vessel. Buyers prefer 20ft containers for better inventory control. The food processing zone in Selangor handles most imports.

Pricing and Value Position
Food Grade 85% costs 20-25% less than pharmaceutical grades but delivers what bakery applications need. You skip the extra refining costs of higher purity grades. Margins work because Malaysian bakeries pay for function, not pharma specs. The white color grade adds $15-20 per ton over brown husk but looks cleaner in light-colored bread products. Container volume keeps freight per kilo reasonable. Good entry point for bread improver formulators testing psyllium fiber.
Frequently Asked Questions
What moisture level does this Food Grade 85% psyllium husk have?
Maximum 10% moisture content. This keeps the product stable during shipping and storage in Malaysia's humid climate. Lower moisture prevents caking and extends shelf life to 18-24 months in proper storage.
Why choose 85% purity grade for bakery and bread improvers?
The 85% purity provides enough fiber content for dough improvement at a lower cost than 95%+ pharma grades. The 60-100 mesh size disperses well in dough mixers. Works fine for industrial bakery where you need functional fiber, not pharmaceutical purity.
