Why Choose Siya Agri Exports for Fennel?

Colour Retention Strategy

Fennel turns yellow and loses flavour if exposed to sunlight.

Our Process: We store our stock in cool, dark warehouses immediately after harvest. We pack in Jute Bags (for breathability) or PP Bags with Liners to preserve that desirable "Fresh Green" look that commands a higher price in the market.

Sugar-Coating Ready

Purity: For confectionery buyers who coat fennel in sugar (to make candy), even a speck of dust is unacceptable. We offer Sortex Cleaned fennel that is 99.9% pure, ready for direct candy manufacturing.

Applications & Uses

Mouth Freshener: Chewed after meals in India and the Middle East to aid digestion and freshen breath.

Italian Sausage: The primary flavoring agent in authentic Italian sausages and meatballs.

Baking: Used in Rye bread, biscotti, and crackers for an anise-like taste.

Tea: Steeped to make "Fennel Tea," known for reducing bloating.

Logistics & Shipping

Volume: Fennel is a light seed. A 20ft container holds approximately 13 MT, while a 40ft holds 26 MT.

Fumigation: Strict fumigation is performed to ensure the cargo remains pest-free during the voyage.
