Import Cardamom — Buy in wholesale FOB from Supplier in Indonesia

PT. Altair Ekspor Indonesia supplies cardamom harvested from its own farms in Indonesia. The pods are harvested at peak ripeness and then sun‑dried, or oven‑dried when rain prevents sun exposure, resulting in a brown colour. Each batch is reported to contain up to 20% moisture, which the supplier states as the moisture level of the product. The company lists a minimum order of 100 MT per month.

Cardamom of this type is normally sold as whole pods, and the brown dried pods are classified by the industry as a lower‑grade product compared with green whole pods, but still meet many spice blends that require a robust flavour. Typical green cardamom on the market has a moisture content of 10‑12% and a pod length of 12‑15 mm; the higher moisture of this batch may affect shelf life and requires proper storage. Standard packaging for bulk spice shipments is 25 kg jute bags, which protects the aroma during sea freight. The supplier’s description does not mention any third‑party certifications, so buyers should request test reports.

Importers of Indonesian cardamom usually target food manufacturers, spice distributors and confectionery producers who need a consistent bulk supply. Trade terms are not disclosed in the listing, so the buyer should confirm incoterms, payment schedule and freight options directly with PT. Altair Ekspor Indonesia. The company’s trust tier is listed as “harbour”, indicating a moderate level of verification on the platform. Prospective buyers are encouraged to arrange a sample shipment to evaluate flavour and moisture before committing to the full MOQ.

PT. Altair Ekspor Indonesia is registered in Jambi, Indonesia, with its office located at Jl. Bwp Meruap - Sarolangun Kembang, Sarolangun 37481. The company appears on the platform with a harbour trust tier, indicating that basic verification of business registration has been completed. Its response rate is currently shown as 0 % and no average response time is recorded, which suggests limited engagement on the marketplace.

The supplier states that it works directly with farmers to source cardamom and that it controls the drying process on‑site. No additional certifications, production capacity figures or export history are provided in the listing, so buyers should request those details when negotiating. The focus of the listing is on bulk sales of the brown‑dried pods rather than value‑added processing.
