Why Cypriot Importers Choose Pakistani Fenugreek Seed

Cypriot importers clear food through the Ministry of Health / Department of Agriculture border control post at Limassol and supply supermarkets (Alphamega, Sklavenitis, Lidl), hotels and restaurants that expect EU-compliant documentation. Importers in Limassol, Nicosia, Larnaca and Paphos work with Kohenoor International because:

The Cypriot Fenugreek Market: Cured Meats, Spices, Communities and Halloumi-Belt Feed

Cyprus uses fenugreek in its own cured meats — pastourma and tsamarella — and in the spice blends its packers supply to supermarkets, hotels and the restaurant trade that serves millions of tourists a year. The island’s communities drive steady demand too: South Asian workers and students, Sri Lankan and Filipino households, Lebanese, Syrian and Egyptian families, and a large Russian-speaking population in Limassol all buy fenugreek through ethnic grocers and wholesalers.

Pharmacies and health shops sell trigonella for lactation and blood sugar, and the sheep, goat and dairy feed makers of the halloumi belt use fenugreek as a palatant. Supply has come mainly via Greek traders from India and Egypt; Cypriot importers who want direct, fast container or LCL pricing from Karachi and documented residue testing are qualifying Pakistan.
