Unjha APMC
The largest cumin market in Asia. Reference pricing for Indian jeera is discovered here, so quotes elsewhere are usually derived from it.
Gujarat trade route
Cumin exporter working the Gujarat route.
Gujarat is where Indian cumin is priced and where most of it leaves the country. Feronex buys at Unjha, processes to your grade, and ships every container out of Mundra.
Why Gujarat
Two things Gujarat gives a cumin buyer.
Price and port. The state holds the market that sets the rate for Indian jeera, and the terminals that move most of the spice containers leaving India. Buying elsewhere usually means paying one of those two costs twice.
Mehsana and Patan
Secondary arrival centres in north Gujarat. Useful when Unjha arrivals thin out mid-season and price spikes on low volume.
Mundra port
Our only gateway. Deep-draft, high sailing frequency to Gulf, Europe and Far East lines, with reliable container availability.
Single loading point
Every lot is stuffed at Mundra. One terminal means one set of handling procedures and no surprises in your bill of lading.

Buyer questions
Gujarat cumin export, answered.
Which Gujarat port do you ship from?
Every container is loaded at Mundra. It offers deep-draft berths and the highest sailing frequency to Gulf, European and Far East lines, so we route all shipments through it.
Are you based in Gujarat?
Our registered office is in Mumbai. Our buying, processing and port operations for cumin run through Gujarat, which is what determines your price and your sailing date.
How long from order to sailing?
Roughly 10 to 14 days for processing, lab testing and container stuffing once grade and payment terms are confirmed, then transit as per the table above.
Can you handle documentation?
Yes. Phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, invoice, packing list and lab reports are prepared as standard. Additional destination-specific paperwork on request.
