Turmeric fingers, slices and powder with tested curcumin content for colour, seasoning and extract supply. Sichuan's Jianwei/Benham area is the reference origin for high-colour material.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is bought primarily for colour. Curcumin content drives value, and it varies widely by origin and by whether the rhizome is boiled before drying — boiling gelatinises the starch and locks in a brighter, more stable yellow.
Sichuan's Jianwei and Benham areas are the reference origin for high-curcumin material; Yunnan and Guangxi supply larger volumes for standard grades. We report curcumin and ASTA colour value on the COA so the buyer can price against a real number rather than a grade name.

Container loading varies with product density and packaging — typically 18–24 MT per 20′ container for whole spices and less for low-density herbs and leaf. Final packing, palletisation and container plan are confirmed per order.
A complete export documentation package to support import clearance and buyer due diligence.
Quick answers to common buyer questions. For detailed technical data, please request our product brochure.
By spectrophotometry, expressed as a percentage of total curcuminoids. ASTA colour value is a separate measure of staining strength. We report both where available — they correlate but are not interchangeable.
Rhizome maturity, whether the root is boiled before drying, drying temperature and storage all affect curcumin retention. This is why we report an actual tested figure per lot rather than relying on the grade name.
Our standard MOQ for Turmeric is 1 MT per grade, so a buyer can run a trial lot through their own line before committing to a container. A 20′ container holds roughly 18–24 MT depending on product and packing; a 40′ FCL is quoted on the same basis.
Yes. 200 g–500 g samples of Turmeric are supplied free of charge for evaluation; the buyer covers courier freight, or the sample can travel with the first shipment. Tell us the grade, packing form and destination and we cut the sample from the current lot.
Production runs 25–30 working days from order confirmation, depending on grade, packing and current stock. Turmeric then moves to Qinzhou port, or the port you nominate; ocean transit is quoted per destination when freight is confirmed.
We typically accept T/T (30% deposit, 70% against B/L copy) or L/C at sight for new buyers. Repeat buyers can move to negotiated terms after the first shipments.
Yes. Bag size, carton design and label content can follow your market's rules, and we send a dieline proof before the run starts. Custom packaging starts at 1,000 kg per design.
The standard set is COA, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading. Pesticide residue, aflatoxin, heavy metal and microbiology reports for Turmeric are issued by third-party labs such as SGS, Eurofins or BV on request. We do not hold an FDA facility registration; for US imports we support your importer's FSVP and prior-notice paperwork with batch-level documents.
