Dry Red Chilli (Long)
Harmain Global’s Long Chilli is dried red chilli sourced from Pakistan’s Sindh and Punjab chilli-growing regions — long pods running 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 Long Chilli in Grade A premium lots — vivid red, cleaned, 8 cm and longer pods, vacuum-packed or in 25 kg PP bags; 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. Custom moisture level, ASTA colour value, pack size, pungency profile, certified organic supply chain, and buyer specifications are available, with commercial lots shipped with a Certificate of Analysis. Each lot can be lab-tested for aflatoxins, B1 ≤5 µg/kg and total ≤10 µg/kg, ochratoxin A ≤15 µg/kg, EU MRL pesticide residues, heavy metals, moisture, and ASTA colour value. No synthetic dye, no added colour, Sudan Red absent, lab verified. Harmain Global is ISO 22000, HACCP, Halal certified, and GACC registered for China. Packaging includes 10 kg vacuum-sealed cartons, 25–50 kg PP or jute bags, eco-friendly paper sacks, and private-label retail packs from 250g to 1 kg. FOB Karachi, documents, and full export documentation are handled in-house.
