Fox nuts for Japan's health-food and specialty snack trade

Short answer: National Makhana Udyog supplies graded, handpicked makhana (fox nuts) to Japanese importers in 4 Sutta+ to 6 Sutta+ grades. We recommend starting with an air sample from 8 kg, with a Certificate of Analysis for the lot. A 20 ft container carries about 2–2.5 tonnes. Prices are quoted on request.

Japanese buyers tend to look closely at kernel colour, size uniformity and foreign matter before they approve a supplier. That is why we begin with samples and lab reports, and move to containers only after you have approved the product.

What Japanese importers should confirm before ordering

  • Import and labelling rules: Japan has its own food import notification and labelling requirements. Your importer or customs broker should confirm the current rules for the exact product and pack before ordering.
  • Sample approval: we send samples by air for visual and lab checks before you commit to a container.

Rules change. Your importer or customs broker should confirm current conditions before ordering. We do not claim organic certification.
