Carom seeds (Trachyspermum ammi), commonly known as ajwain, are small aromatic seeds valued for both their culinary and medicinal use. India, especially states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Punjab, dominates the carom seeds export market. In 2022-23, India exported around 7,149 MT of carom seeds, generating USD 13.08 million in export value
Key demand drivers include rising global interest in natural Spices, digestive herbal remedies, flavour in processed foods, and organic / clean label products. Importers seeking to buy carom seeds in bulk prioritize high purity (> 98%), low moisture (≤ ~10-12%), good volatile oil content, proper cleaning (low broken seeds or foreign matter), uniform seed size, stable supply, and certifications (FSSAI, APEDA, organic where needed)
