Psyllium Supply to Paris Market
Paris buyers source pharmaceutical psyllium through Le Havre port, 190km northwest. French pharma labs need USP/BP compliance for laxative production. Most shipments go 20ft containers, arrive in 28-32 days from Mundra. Local regulations require full traceability and batch documentation. German and Belgian buyers also route through Le Havre for EU distribution. The French pharma sector uses about 280-320 tons annually, mostly for OTC digestive products. Price stability matters here because formulation costs are locked in quarterly contracts.

Swelling index hits 40 or above, critical for laxative efficacy. USP and BP standards mean it passes heavy metal limits and microbial counts. Sand and ash content under 4% combined.
