About Cloves (Laung)
Cloves are graded on the proportion of whole buds with heads intact and on volatile-oil content, which at 14% and above is what gives the spice its commercial value to both culinary and extraction buyers. RNG Agro Exports sources from Kerala and Tamil Nadu and supplies hand-picked, commercial and extraction grades.
Why buyers choose RNG Agro Exports as their Cloves exporter in India
Headless bud percentage and moisture are the two parameters that move price, and both are verified before packing. Every consignment carries a Certificate of Analysis covering volatile oil, moisture, ash, headless percentage and pesticide residues, and steam-sterilised material is available where microbial limits apply. SGS or Intertek inspection is arranged on nomination.
Grades and end uses
