Why Lithuanian Importers Choose Pakistani Fenugreek Seed
Lithuanian importers clear food through the VMVT (State Food and Veterinary Service) border control post at Klaipėda and supply retail chains (Maxima, Iki, Rimi, Lidl) and export customers across the Baltics and Scandinavia. Importers in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda and Šiauliai work with Kohenoor International because:
- EU-MRL and ETO tested per lot — Each lot is tested against Regulation (EC) 396/2005 maximum residue levels and for ethylene oxide before loading, with the accredited report sent ahead of the vessel for your quality team and the VMVT.
- Not on the increased-control list — Pakistani single-spice fenugreek is not listed under Regulation (EU) 2019/1793, so consignments clear the Klaipėda border control post under standard official controls.
- Herbal-tea grade cleanliness — Extra-clean, low-dust whole seed with heavy-metal and microbiology reports for Lithuania’s herbal-tea blenders and pharmacy chains selling ožragė for digestion, lactation and blood sugar.
- Bold golden grade for spice packers — Even-grinding bold seed for curry and mixed spices produced for Maxima, Iki, Rimi and Lidl and for Baltic export.
- Feed-grade volume — Regular grade in 1 MT big bags at feed pricing for the premix, poultry, pig and dairy feed makers of one of the Baltic region’s largest agri sectors.
- Baltic distribution and Lithuanian documents — Klaipėda serves Latvia and Estonia by truck; invoices and certificates with Lithuanian translations for your muitinės tarpininkas.
The Lithuanian Fenugreek Market: Herbal Tea, Spices, Feed and Baltic Distribution
Lithuania has one of Europe’s strongest herbal-tea traditions: national tea brands, pharmacy chains and herb shops sell ožragė seed and tea for digestion, lactation and glycaemic support, and supplement makers use it in capsules. The country’s spice packers supply Maxima, Iki, Rimi and Lidl and export mixed spices to Latvia, Estonia, Poland and Scandinavia.
Lithuania is also a major poultry, pig and dairy producer with a large premix and compound-feed industry where fenugreek is a palatant. Vilnius and Kaunas have growing Indian, Ukrainian, Turkish and Arab communities served by ethnic wholesalers. Supply arrives via Hamburg or Rotterdam feeders from India; Lithuanian importers who want direct container pricing at Klaipėda and a documented second origin are qualifying Pakistan.
