Fennel seeds are a high-demand spice globally, prized for their sweet, aromatic flavor and usage in culinary, medicinal, and flavoring industries. India is one of the major producers and exporters—especially from states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra. In 2023, India’s exports of the broader seeds group under HS Code 09096100 (which includes fennel among others) amounted to USD 812.13 million. Buyers seeking to buy fennel seeds bulk are increasingly focused on purity, colour uniformity, low moisture content, seed size (green vs mature), and certifications (organic / food-grade) to meet import requirements. Demand drivers include growing interest in natural flavouring, herbal & nutraceutical uses, and premium food products in Europe, Middle East and Southeast Asia.
| Variant | Seed Grade / Size / Type | Typical Use Cases | Export Demand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Green Whole Seeds | Bright green, large, uniform size | Gourmet food, flavour-sensitive consumer packs, herbal tea blends | Very high in EU / Middle East |
| Mature / Natural Whole Seeds | Slightly darker colour, standard grade | General culinary use, spice blends, traditional uses | High |
| Organic Fennel Seeds | Certified organic, same grading | Organic food, health & nutraceutical sectors | Growing rapidly |
| Cleaned / Sorted Seeds | Lower foreign matter, uniform size | Bulk buyers, food processing, exporters | Medium to High |
For Indian fennel seed exports, FOB prices in recent years have ranged approximately USD 1.04 – USD 7.25 per kg, depending on grade, origin, colour and certification. Premium grades (bright green, organic certified) are toward the higher end.
