Dry Red Chilli (Long)

Harmain Global’s long dried red chilli is sourced from the Kunri and Umerkot chilli belt in Sindh, the origin point for the large majority of Pakistan’s export-grade red chilli. Traditional Longi and Dundicut pods run 8 cm and longer, selected for bold aroma, deep red colour, and reliable performance in chilli powder, curry blends, sauces, and seasoning mixes. Since 1985, Harmain Global has supplied Pakistani red chilli to spice processors, curry manufacturers, sauce producers, food manufacturers, halal processors, and specialty spice importers across Europe, the Middle East, South Asia, the USA, and Canada. Pakistan remains a strong alternative to Indian and Chinese chilli supply, with EU GSP+ and UK DCTS duty benefits giving European buyers a direct cost advantage.

Harmain Global supplies whole dried Sindh-origin Longi and Dundicut red chilli in Grade A premium lots, vivid red, cleaned, 8 cm and longer pods, vacuum-packed or in 25 kg PP bags…” (keep the rest of the paragraph as-is from “Grade B standard for crushing…” onward — nothing else in it references Punjab); Grade B standard for crushing and powder processing; and organic/pesticide-free lots grown under controlled or IPM farm systems with chain-of-custody documents where required.
