Why Portuguese Importers Choose Pakistani Fenugreek Seed

Portuguese importers clear food through the DGAV border control post and the ASAE inspects products on the market; retail chains such as Continente, Pingo Doce and Auchan require residue documentation from their spice suppliers. Importers in Lisbon, Porto, Setúbal and Braga work with Kohenoor International because:

The Portuguese Fenugreek Market: Spices, Ervanárias and Feed

Portugal’s fenugreek demand has grown quickly with immigration and with the mainstreaming of Indian and Goan cooking: Lisbon and Porto now have large Indian, Nepalese, Bangladeshi and Pakistani communities and hundreds of South Asian grocers and restaurants buying methi, while spice packers list fenugreek in caril and specialty blends for Continente, Pingo Doce and Auchan. The Brazilian community, the largest immigrant group, buys feno-grego through natural-products shops.

The herbal channel — ervanárias, dietary-supplement brands and pharmacy lines — sells fenugreek seed, powder and capsules for lactation, appetite and glycaemic support and needs residue and heavy-metal reports. The feed industry uses fenugreek as a palatant in premixes, calf feed and horse supplements for the Lusitano breeding sector. Supply arrives mostly via Spanish and Dutch traders from India; Portuguese importers who want direct container pricing and a documented second origin are qualifying Pakistan.
