Johor Bahru Market Overview
Johor Bahru receives psyllium through Port of Tanjung Pelepas, Malaysia's largest container port. Supplement manufacturers here source Indian psyllium for encapsulation lines. Local demand grew 18% last year due to new GMP facilities in Pasir Gudang industrial zone. Buyers prefer superfine powder grades because capsule filling machines need consistent particle size. Transit time from Mundra Port is 9-11 days direct. Malaysian importers handle customs clearance at Senai cargo terminal. Most orders are 1-2 containers per month for medium-scale operations.

Swelling index is 12:1 in water. Color is cream to light brown. This fineness level works for 500mg and 1000mg capsule formats without clogging.
