Direct from Origin | Latest Briefing on China's Cumin Export Market
China's cumin market is currently in a transition period between the old and new seasons. Cumin from major producing areas has gradually entered the harvest season, with new supplies flowing into the market steadily. Thanks to stable climate conditions this year, which were favorable for cumin growth, the output of the new season is expected to remain roughly the same as last year.
In terms of market performance, cumin prices are staying firm, supported by three key factors: first, active procurement from domestic distributors and condiment processing enterprises; second, stable demand from traditional export markets such as the Middle East and South Asia; and third, high labor costs and transportation expenses, which have driven up overall production costs.
Most export processing plants are currently focusing on impurity removal, screening, and selection of cumin. Meanwhile, customers are putting forward higher requirements for product purity, color, and aroma. Our company strictly controls the source of raw materials and is equipped with advanced color sorting equipment to ensure that our exported cumin is plump, impurity-free, and rich in aroma, fully meeting the high-quality standards of the international market.
As new supplies hit the market in full, price fluctuations are expected to gradually stabilize. We recommend that overseas customers lock in high-quality sources in advance to ensure supply chain stability.
