Frankfurt Market Overview
Frankfurt receives psyllium through Hamburg Port, 380km north. German feed mills source industrial grades for livestock fiber supplementation. Demand runs steady at 150-200 tons monthly across Bavaria and Hesse regions. Most buyers blend this with compound feeds at 2-5% inclusion rates. Rhine-Main logistics hub means quick distribution to Netherlands and Belgium. Price sensitivity high here—buyers want 80% purity minimum but skip premium grades. Container consolidation common through Bremerhaven for smaller orders under 15 tons.
