Why Irish Importers Choose Pakistani Fenugreek Seed

Irish importers clear food through the Department of Agriculture and FSAI-supervised border control posts at Dublin Port and Cork, and the equine-feed sector works to UFAS/FEMAS and BETA NOPS standards. Importers in Dublin, Cork, Kildare, Limerick and Galway work with Kohenoor International because:

The Irish Fenugreek Market: Equine Feed, Spices, Dairy and Health Food

Ireland’s equine industry — thoroughbred breeding, racing, sport horses and leisure — supports a large horse-feed and supplement manufacturing sector in Kildare, Meath, Cork and Tipperary, and fenugreek is the classic palatability ingredient in muesli, cubes, balancers and supplements. These manufacturers buy regular grade in big bags and need NOPS-aware supplier documentation. The dairy sector, the largest in the country, uses fenugreek in calf milk replacers and starter feeds.

On the food side, Ireland’s Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities have grown rapidly, and Dublin and Cork have dozens of South Asian grocers and hundreds of Indian restaurants buying whole methi; spice packers list fenugreek in curry blends for Dunnes, Tesco and SuperValu, and health-food shops and pharmacies sell fenugreek seed and capsules for lactation and blood sugar. Since Brexit, Irish importers prefer direct sea routes and EU-origin clearance rather than UK land-bridge supply; a direct container from Karachi with a documented second origin fits that need.
