Market Access in Penang
Penang receives psyllium husk through Port of Penang, mainly for livestock feed operations across northern Malaysia. The feed mill sector here buys 80% grade because it's cost-effective for fiber supplementation in poultry and cattle rations. Most shipments land at North Butterworth Container Terminal. Buyers prefer 20ft containers, around 12-14 MT per unit. Demand stays consistent year-round from feed compounders in Seberang Perai and Butterworth industrial zones. Transit time from Mundra port averages 9-11 days direct sailing. No transshipment needed on this route.

Industrial Grade 80% Specifications
This grade holds maximum 12% moisture content, minimum 80% purity with up to 20% admixture allowed. Mesh size runs 40-60, natural brown color without bleaching. The fiber content works for animal feed because it aids digestion in ruminants and poultry without needing pharmaceutical-grade purity. Lower processing means the husk retains natural mucilage properties. Good binding capacity in pellet feed production. No chemical treatment applied, just mechanical cleaning and grading.

Pricing for 80% Grade
Industrial 80% grade costs about 35-40% less than pharmaceutical 95% grade. Feed mills don't need higher purity, so this grade gives better margin. Saves on import duty classification too since it's industrial use, not food grade. Bulk orders above 40 MT get better FOB rates. Processing cost stays low because minimal cleaning is required. Works out cheaper per ton of finished feed compared to importing premium grades that don't add value for livestock applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
What moisture level is this grade?
Maximum 12% moisture content. We test every batch before shipment. Higher moisture can cause clumping during transport, so we keep it controlled for feed mill handling.
Why choose Industrial Grade 80% for animal feed supplements?
It costs 35-40% less than pharmaceutical grades but delivers the same fiber benefits for livestock. Feed applications don't require 95%+ purity. The 80% grade has adequate mucilage content for digestion support and pellet binding without paying for unnecessary refinement.
