Red Chilli Powder Exporter from India — Bulk FOB Supply
BlueNexus Agro is a red chilli powder exporter from India, shipping bulk container loads of Saurashtra-milled chilli powder to importers, repackers and food manufacturers worldwide. Our red chilli powder is graded by ASTA colour value — 80, 120 or 160 on order — milled to 60 mesh, and tested for aflatoxin on every lot before it leaves our Rajkot facility.
Buyers looking for a red chilli powder bulk supplier usually need three things settled fast: colour, heat, and food-safety paperwork. We quote against a written specification — ASTA colour, SHU band, mesh, moisture and microbial limits — so the powder that loads at Mundra is the powder you approved on the sample. FOB quotes are returned within 48 hours.

Specify the grade — we mill to it.
Colour is the lever most importers pull first. Standard production runs at ASTA 80 for cost-driven blends, ASTA 120 for the mainstream retail and HORECA grade, and ASTA 160 where a deep, fixed red is the selling point. The ASTA 120 chilli powder exporter spec is our highest-volume line; ASTA 160 is milled from higher-colour pods and priced accordingly.
Heat is specified separately. Because Scoville varies by pod variety and crop year, we set SHU to your specification rather than publishing one fixed number — from sweet, low-pungency blends through to high-heat Teja-led grades. Mesh defaults to 60; finer or coarser grinds are available for sauces, dry rubs and extruded snacks. Stem and seed content, extraneous matter and added-colour status are all declared on the CoA.
PP/HDPE 5–50 kg, container-ready.
Standard export packing is food-grade PP/HDPE bags from 5 kg to 50 kg, heat-sealed with an inner liner to hold moisture and aroma over the voyage; 25 kg is the most common bulk unit. Private-label retail pouches (100 g–1 kg) with destination-compliant artwork are available from 2 MT per SKU.
~16-18 MT loaded per 20ft FCL in PP/HDPE 5-50 kg sacks
Estimated — confirm exact MT at quote based on packaging.
Compliance, lot by lot.
Every shipment is covered by an FSSAI licence and APEDA RCMC, with a Certificate of Analysis, Phytosanitary Certificate and Certificate of Origin in the document pack. Aflatoxin (≤ 10 ppb B1) and the microbial panel — Total Plate Count, yeast & mould, Salmonella and E. coli — are tested per lot; pesticide-residue and Sudan-dye screening are available where your market requires it (EU, USA, GCC).

FOB Mundra, CIF/CFR worldwide.
We load FOB Mundra by default — the closest deep-water port and the one with the best sailing frequency — with Pipavav and Kandla as alternatives. CIF and CFR are quoted to most destinations. Typical buyers ship red chilli powder FOB Mundra to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK and North America; transit and documentation are matched to the destination at quote.

Red Chilli Powder export — FAQ.
- What ASTA colour values do you supply?
- Standard grades are ASTA 80, 120 and 160. We mill to the value you specify and print the lot's measured ASTA on the Certificate of Analysis.
- How is the heat (SHU) controlled?
- Scoville is set to your written specification through variety selection and blending. We don't publish a single fixed SHU because it shifts with crop year — tell us the band you need and we match it lot to lot.
- Is the chilli powder aflatoxin-tested?
- Yes. Every lot is tested to ≤ 10 ppb aflatoxin B1, with the result on the CoA. Pesticide and Sudan-dye screening are available on request for stricter markets.
- What is the minimum order and lead time?
- 1 MT per SKU, ~16–18 MT to fill a 20ft FCL. Stock grades load in 7–10 days; custom ASTA or mesh runs in 21–28 days against a signed proforma.
