End-to-end procurement, grading, certification, and freight — from Western Ghat farms to global ports.
We source cardamom and pepper directly from growers in Wayanad and Idukki. Our processing starts with size sorting using machine sieves to grade green cardamom pods (Bold 7.5mm, Super Bold 8.0mm+) and separate light pepper corns from dense, high-oil berries.
Each batch undergoes testing for moisture limits (cardamom < 12%, black pepper < 11.5%) and visual inspection to ensure green color preservation and zero organic impurity contamination.
Exporting agricultural commodities demands compliance with export promotion bodies. TMN Global EXIM handles all registration details, securing mandatory Phytosanitary Certificates (PSC) representing quarantine clearing, and filing custom manifest documents.
We work in coordination with the Spices Board of India testing labs, managing pesticide residue analysis (like Sudan dye, Aflatoxin screenings) and ensuring swift clearance at ports.
Exposure to moisture is the primary cause of mold and aroma degradation in spices during shipping. We utilize high-barrier, multi-layer food-grade vacuum bags and polythene-lined gunny packs to prevent humidity exposure.
For high-value cardamom shipments, vacuum packing locks in the volatile cineole and terpinyl acetate oils, keeping the spice fresh for over 18 months.
We organize logistics for ocean containers (FCL/LCL) and urgent air cargo, booking with premier lines. Our logicians draft routes that prevent cargo exposure to high-humidity environments during transshipments.
We provide temperature-monitored warehousing in proximity to major ports (Chennai, Tuticorin) to preserve spice volatile elements prior to vessel departures.
