Single-Origin, 100% Quality-Verifiable Oils & Spices Sourced Directly from Smallholder Family Farms in Kannur, Kasaragod, Wayanad & Idukki
We export 100% solvent-free, AGMARK Grade 1 Certified cold-pressed coconut oil (HS 15131900), mechanically expeller-pressed strictly below 50°C to preserve natural lauric acid, aroma, and bioactive polyphenols. Sourced unpackaged in bulk directly from extraction facilities in Kannur and Kasaragod using advanced indirect smoke-free and sulfur-free copra drying. Packaged in 200L food-grade metallic containers purpose-made for each shipment (80 drums / ~16 MT per 20ft FCL), delivering far higher safety and reliability than single 22MT or 30MT bulk flexitanks, with consignment-specific batch Certificates of Analysis (CoA) verifying FFA < 0.1% and moisture < 0.1%.
“When our team inspects copra batches across Kannur and Kasaragod, we reject any lot dried over wood smoke. Exporting our oil in purpose-made 200L food-grade metallic containers with nitrogen headspace flushing cut transit moisture absorption to zero. It gives our buyers vastly superior cargo safety compared to 22MT or 30MT single bulk liquid bladders.”

Hornbill Exim is a specialized South Indian spice and coconut product exporter. We source and supply single-origin commodities including Tellicherry Garbled Special Extra Bold (TGSEB) Black Pepper (HS 09041130), King's Green Cardamom AGEB 8mm+ (HS 09081100), Alleppey High-Curcumin Finger Turmeric 5.0%-6.5% (HS 09103020), Erode Double-Polished Turmeric (HS 09103030), Stemless Red Chilli (HS 09042110), Whole S17 Teja Red Chilli with Stems (HS 09042110), W240 Jumbo Cashews (HS 08013220), and Cold-Pressed Pure Coconut Oil (HS 15131900).
Alleppey Finger Turmeric (HS 09103020) is renowned worldwide for its high natural curcumin content (5.0% to 6.5%), making it the premier choice for pharmaceutical curcuminoid extraction, nutraceutical supplements, and deep golden color. Erode Turmeric (HS 09103030) from South India features 2.5% to 3.5% curcumin, smooth double drum-polishing, and a crisp clean snap that is ideal for commercial spice grinders, curry powder formulations, and everyday culinary seasonings.
We export four distinct tiers sourced from high-altitude estates in Idukki: King's Extra Bold (AGEB 8.0mm+ pods), Alleppey Green Bold (AGB 7.5mm - 8.0mm), Alleppey Green Superior (AGS 7.0mm - 7.5mm), and Pure Decorticated Cardamom Seeds (HS 09081200, 99% purity). All pods undergo indirect flue-curing for 24-30 hours to preserve natural chlorophyll, essential oils (>7.0% v/w), and authentic aroma without artificial dyes or chemical polishing.
We export both Stemless Red Chilli (HS 09042110, 100% machine-destemmed, 80-120 ASTA extractable color, 25k-35k SHU) and Whole Red Chilli with Stems (S17 Teja, 35k-45k SHU). Both grades are sun-dried, farm-cleaned, tested free of Sudan dyes I-IV and Rhodamine B, and certified aflatoxin-safe (<10 ppb total aflatoxin) with Spices Board of India export clearance.
Our agricultural export corridors span the UAE (Jebel Ali Port, Dubai), the European Union (Port of Rotterdam, Netherlands; Port of Hamburg, Germany), Singapore (Port of Singapore), and the US (Port of Newark, New Jersey). Dispatches are routed via Cochin Port (Kochi).
Our Coconut Oil is mechanically expeller cold-pressed at controlled temperatures strictly below 50°C from mature coconuts in Kannur and Northern Kerala. Sourced copra is dried using advanced clean, smoke-free, and sulfur-free indirect drying technology, eliminating PAHs and chemical residues. Sourced copra adheres to AGMARK Grade 1 standards and maintains moisture and Free Fatty Acids (FFA) below 0.1% for maximum oxidation stability and long sea-transit shelf life.
For international export, our primary format is purpose-made 200L food-grade metallic containers (80 drums / ~16 MT per 20ft FCL). Manufactured brand-new for each shipment, these hermetically sealed metallic drums are far safer than 22MT or 30MT single flexitanks, eliminating catastrophic bladder tear risks, preventing plasticizer migration, and isolating cargo safety during rough ocean voyages. We also support 1,000L IBC totes for industrial facilities, 25kg/50kg Kraft paper bags for spices, and gourmet amber glass jars for retail boutique distribution.
