About Green Cardamom
Green cardamom is graded by pod size in millimetres and by colour, and the Gulf gift and hospitality trade pays a substantial premium for bold 8mm pods with deep green colour and tightly closed husks. RNG Agro Exports sources from Idukki in Kerala and Coorg in Karnataka across the harvest window.
Why buyers choose RNG Agro Exports as their Green Cardamom exporter in India
Cardamom loses colour and volatile oil quickly in warm storage, so material is bought close to harvest, size graded on calibrated screens and packed in moisture-barrier liner. Each consignment carries a Certificate of Analysis covering pod size distribution, volatile oil, moisture, empty pod percentage and pesticide residues โ the last being the most common EU rejection cause on this spice.
Grades and end uses
8mm bold pods go to Gulf gift packing and premium hospitality. 7mm AGEB is the mainstream retail and food-service grade. 6mm material is supplied to grinders and masala blenders, and decorticated seeds and ground cardamom are prepared to order for bakery and beverage manufacturers.
Packaging and private label
Packed in food-grade liner cartons, aluminium-foil laminated pouches and BOPP printed retail packs produced in-house under your brand.

How is green cardamom graded?
By pod size in millimetres and by colour. 8mm bold with deep green colour and tightly closed husks commands the Gulf gift-trade premium; 7mm AGEB is the mainstream export grade.
Why does cardamom lose colour and aroma?
Warm storage. Volatile oil and green colour both degrade quickly, so we buy close to harvest and pack in moisture-barrier liner rather than holding stock.
What is the most common EU rejection cause on cardamom?
Pesticide residues, by a wide margin. Lots for EU buyers are tested against current MRLs before booking and the report ships with the consignment.
Do you supply cardamom seeds or powder?
Yes. Decorticated seeds and ground cardamom are prepared to order for bakery, beverage and masala manufacturers in foil-laminated packing.
Is RNG Agro Exports a direct Green Cardamom exporter in India?
Yes. RNG Agro Exports LLP is an APEDA-registered Green Cardamom exporter in India based in Gujarat. We contract Green Cardamom against your specification, test every lot and ship FOB Mundra or CIF your port.
