About Us — MRK Trading & Exports

OUR STORY

Spices from the Deccan, shipped to the world.

Telangana grows some of the most sought-after spices in the world — the fiery Teja chilli of Khammam and Warangal, and the deep-golden turmeric of Nizamabad. MRK Trading & Exports was founded in Mahabubnagar to take these spices, and the finest from across South India, straight from growers to importers abroad.

We source chillies, turmeric, whole spices and seeds directly from farms across Telangana and South India — cleaned, graded and packed to your market's specification.

BUYER REVIEWS

What importers say about us.

Teja chilli

"Second order with MRK now. Colour and heat were the same as the sample they sent, which honestly is not always the case with chilli. Docs came on time too."

Ahmed Al Mansoori

Food distributor, Dubai

Turmeric

"We only wanted a small trial lot to start with. Ismail still sent the curcumin report without us chasing, and kept us updated every few days until it shipped."

Sarah Whitfield

Specialty food buyer, London

Cumin & coriander

"Clean seeds, bags well stitched, nothing torn when we opened the container. They are our first call now for Indian seed spices."

Tan Wei Ming

Spice wholesaler, Kuala Lumpur

Black pepper

"Good quality pepper and a fair price. One shipment was delayed a few days at port, but Rafi told us early and sorted it out. We appreciated that."

Khalid Rahman

Importer, Doha

Private label

"They packed our ground spices under our own label. It took two rounds to get the pouch print right, but they were patient and the final packs look great."

Lena Bauer

Retail brand, Hamburg

Cardamom

"The pods were green and fresh and the size grading was spot on. Easy people to work with, they answer on WhatsApp even late in the evening."

Ravi Patel

Grocery chain buyer, Toronto
