Latvian importers clear food through the PVD (Food and Veterinary Service) border control post at Riga and supply retail chains (Rimi, Maxima, Lidl) and Baltic export customers; the Riga Freeport offers bonded storage for regional distribution. Importers in Riga, Daugavpils and Liepāja work with Kohenoor International because:
Latvia shares the Baltic herbal tradition: tea blenders, pharmacies and health-food shops sell grieķu sierāboliņš seed and tea for digestion, lactation and glycaemic support, and supplement makers use it in capsules. Spice packers supply curry and mixed spices to Rimi, Maxima and Lidl, and Riga’s large Russian-speaking community and growing Indian, Ukrainian and Arab communities buy fenugreek through ethnic grocers and markets.
Latvia’s dairy, poultry and horse sectors use fenugreek as a feed palatant, and the Riga Freeport lets importers hold spices in bond for distribution to Estonia and Lithuania. Supply arrives via Hamburg or Rotterdam feeders from India; Latvian importers who want direct container pricing at Riga and a documented second origin are qualifying Pakistan.
Tea companies and pharmacy wholesalers selling grieķu sierāboliņš seed and tea.
Producers of curry and mixed spices for retail chains and Baltic export.
Traders distributing to Estonia and Lithuania from bonded stock.
Premix, dairy, poultry and horse-feed producers using fenugreek as a palatant.
Distributors to Russian-speaking, Indian, Ukrainian and Arab grocers.
Producers of capsules and powders for lactation and glycaemic support.
