Czech manufacturers pass IFS/BRC audits for German and Austrian retail customers, and the SZPI (Czech Agriculture and Food Inspection Authority) checks imported spices for residues. Importers in Prague, Brno, Ostrava and Plzeň work with Kohenoor International because:
Czechia is one of the EU’s largest herbal-tea producers and exporters, and pískavice řecké seno is a traditional Czech herb sold in pharmacies and health-food shops as seed, powder and tea for digestion, appetite and glycaemic support; supplement makers use it in capsule formulas. The country’s spice-packing industry supplies Czech and Slovak supermarket chains and private-label customers in Germany and Austria with curry, Balkan and Asian blends that include fenugreek.
Demand is also rising from the Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Indian and Arab communities of Prague and Brno and from the popularity of Indian restaurants. The feed industry uses fenugreek as a palatant in premixes, calf feed and horse supplements. Almost all supply comes through Hamburg from India via German traders; Czech importers who want direct container pricing, delivered quotes and a documented second origin are qualifying Pakistan.
