Cumin from Asia's Largest
Seed Trading Market
Unjha APMC in North Gujarat is Asia's single largest cumin trading market — and it's where RPM Global Exports builds its supplier base for cumin seeds. By visiting Unjha directly and maintaining relationships with established commission agents and farmers, we're able to source cumin that meets international grade requirements at prices that reflect actual market conditions.
We offer three primary grades: Singapore Quality (98–99% purity, machine cleaned — reliable standard export grade for Middle East and Africa), Europe Quality (99.5%+ purity, sortex cleaned, EU pesticide MRL compliant — for regulated markets and premium retail), and FAQ for general trade, oil extraction, and price-sensitive bulk buyers. Each shipment comes with a detailed spec sheet.
