Who we are
FYM Global Trade is a Hyderabad export company for agricultural products and spices. We work between Indian growing regions and overseas buyers: sourcing to your specification, checking every lot, and handling the paperwork from contract to bill of lading.
Telangana gives us a head start. Nizamabad turmeric and Khammam Teja chilli are grown a few hours from our office, and Sona Masoori rice comes from the paddy belt between the Krishna and the Godavari.
What we do
Most delays in agri imports come from handovers between a buyer, a broker, a processor and a forwarder. We run the three stages that matter under one roof.
We buy to your spec: grade, size, moisture, colour value and pungency. Lots are cleaned, sorted and graded before we offer them.
Pre-shipment samples, accredited lab reports and phytosanitary certification, matched to EU, GCC and US FDA rules or your own buyer specification.
Packing, container stuffing, customs clearance and freight booking from the Indian port that suits your lane, on FOB, CFR or CIF terms.
The catalogue
Eighteen product lines across whole spices, ground spices, grains, pulses and oilseeds. Turn the ring, or open a product to see its specification.
Trade lanes
We ship from the port closest to each crop's origin, which keeps inland haulage short and produce fresh. These are the lanes we quote most often.
From field to freight
From India's paddy belts and spice mandis to the container terminal and the open sea. These are the stages behind every order we ship.
How an order moves
Every order follows the same sequence, and you see each stage: the approved sample, the lab report, container photos and the bill of lading.
Product, grade, quantity, port and Incoterm.
A pre-shipment sample for your approval.
Proforma invoice, TT advance or LC.
Buying, cleaning, sortexing and grading.
Lab report, fumigation and stuffing.
Customs, bill of lading, tracking.
Why buyers choose FYM
Importing food is a run of small risks: grade drift, short weights, missing certificates. We remove them with a routine that is the same for a trial LCL and a forty-foot reefer.
Each lot carries its origin, crop season and batch number from mandi to container.
You approve a pre-shipment sample, and the container is packed against it.
Quotes show FOB and CIF side by side, with packing and freight broken out.
One contact handles your order from first enquiry to arrival at your port.
Trade desk notes
Practical notes our team shares with importers who are buying a product from India for the first time.
Indian dry chillies are bought on two numbers: pungency in Scoville heat units and colour in ASTA units.
Teja (S17), grown around Khammam and Guntur, is the heat variety, typically 75,000 to 100,000 SHU. It goes to sauce makers and oleoresin plants.
334 (S4 Sannam) sits in the middle at roughly 35,000 to 40,000 SHU and is the all-rounder for whole-chilli buyers. Byadgi from Karnataka is mild but deeply red, so it is bought for colour and paprika-style blends.
Curcumin is the compound that gives turmeric its colour, and the percentage sets both use and price.
Most commercial Indian turmeric tests between 2% and 5% curcumin. High-curcumin varieties such as Lakadong from Meghalaya can exceed 6% and are sold to extract makers at a premium.
For food and seasoning use, 2.5% to 3.5% is the usual range. Ask for the figure on the lab report, measured by HPLC, rather than relying on colour alone.
The Incoterm decides who books the ship, who insures the cargo and where the risk passes to you.
Under FOB we deliver the goods on board at the Indian port, and you arrange ocean freight and insurance. Under CFR we also pay the freight to your port, though risk still passes at loading.
CIF adds cargo insurance arranged by us. Buyers with their own forwarder contracts usually prefer FOB. First-time importers often find CIF simpler.
We connect Indian growing regions with importers, processors and distributors abroad, and we answer for each lot from the field to the vessel.
Our story
Importers buying from India often deal with three or four intermediaries before a container leaves port.
Every handover adds cost and blurs where the produce came from. FYM Global Trade shortens that chain. We buy close to origin, process through partner units we visit and inspect, and ship under our own name, so one company is accountable for the lot from field to vessel.
Being based in Hyderabad puts us at the centre of India's chilli, turmeric and rice belts, with rail links to the east-coast ports of Chennai, Krishnapatnam and Visakhapatnam, and an inland container depot in the city.
Our rice and spices come from India's farming belts, and we buy them close to where they grow.
What drives us
Our tagline is a promise with two halves. We connect markets by finding the right crop for each buyer, and we deliver trust by shipping exactly what was agreed.
Give overseas buyers a steady supply of Indian spices and agri commodities, with honest grading and complete paperwork on every shipment.
Become the Indian sourcing partner that importers recommend to each other, because our containers arrive as described.
Where our produce comes from
Our mark
The symbol is a trade loop. Produce leaves India on one arrow, trust and repeat orders come back on the other, and the gold globe at the centre is the market we serve.
Whole and ground spices, rice, pulses and oilseeds from India's main growing regions. Open any product for its HS code, grades, indicative specification and packing.
Specifications shown are indicative. Final specifications are agreed in each contract and confirmed by the pre-shipment lab report. Grades and crops not listed here can often be sourced on request.
Packing options
Bulk packing for processors and wholesalers, or private-label retail packs printed with your brand and your market's labelling rules.
Eight stages, the same for every order. You approve the sample, see the lab report and receive the shipping documents before the vessel arrives.
The sequence
Typical lead time from signed contract to loading is two to four weeks, depending on the crop, the grade and vessel schedules.
Tell us the product, grade, quantity, packing, destination port and the Incoterm you prefer. If you have a buyer spec sheet, send it.
You receive FOB and CIF prices side by side, with validity, packing, payment terms and an estimated loading window.
We courier a pre-shipment sample from the actual lot. Nothing is bought until you approve it.
A proforma invoice or sales contract fixes the specification, quantity, price and shipment date. Payment by TT advance with balance against documents, or by LC at sight.
We buy at origin, then clean, sortex, grade and dry the lot to the agreed specification at partner processing units.
An accredited laboratory tests for moisture, purity, aflatoxin, pesticide residue and microbiology. Third-party inspection by your nominated agency on request.
Bags or cartons are labelled to your market's rules, fumigated where required, and stuffed into the container. You receive stuffing photos.
We clear export customs, issue the shipping documents and send tracking until the vessel reaches your port.
We book FCL and LCL space from six Indian sea ports, with customs cleared before the container reaches the quay.
