Slovak food companies are audited by the ŠVPS (State Veterinary and Food Administration) and by Czech, Austrian and Hungarian retail customers, and the country’s spice packers export across the V4. Importers in Bratislava, Košice, Žilina, Nitra and Trenčín work with Kohenoor International because:
Slovakia’s spice packers supply the domestic retail chains and private-label customers in Czechia, Hungary and Austria with curry, gyros and Balkan blends that include fenugreek, and the country’s herbal-tea tradition — shared with Czechia — puts senovka grécka in pharmacies, health-food shops and tea blends for digestion, appetite and glycaemic support. Supplement makers use it in capsules.
Demand is also rising from the Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Indian and Arab communities of Bratislava and Košice and from Indian restaurants, and the feed industry uses fenugreek as a palatant in premixes, calf feed and horse supplements. Supply arrives through Czech and German traders from India; Slovak importers who want direct container pricing via Koper, delivered quotes and a documented second origin are qualifying Pakistan.
