Frequently Asked Procurement Questions

What are the grading parameters for Alleppey Green Bold (AGB) Cardamom?

AGB designates bold green cardamom pods with capsule diameter between 7.5mm and 8.0mm, sieved through calibrated brass wire mesh. Consignments feature dense, oil-rich capsules with minimum 6.5% volatile essential oil content and bulk density exceeding 400 g/L.

Where does Hornbill Exim source AGB cardamom from?

Our AGB cardamom is sourced directly from licensed planter cooperatives in Idukki, Kerala, situated at 1,100 to 1,300 meters elevation. The cool mountain air and rich loamy forest soil give the pods thick outer husks and sweet camphor aroma.

How is AGB cardamom packed for international ocean freight?

For commercial export, AGB cardamom is sealed in food-grade vacuum aluminum barrier pouches (5kg or 10kg units) placed inside 7-ply corrugated export master cartons, protecting against tropical humidity and volatile oil loss during sea transit.

What is the HS Code for AGB green cardamom?

The international HS Code for whole green cardamom is 09081100.
