Mera Kisan, a rapidly expanding agricultural export brand in India, has positioned itself as the nation's leading bulk supplier of quinoa and makhana (fox nuts), delivering certified superfood ingredients to importers, food producers, distributors, and retail chains in over 30 countries worldwide.
Based in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, MeraKisan runs two processing facilities strategically placed to support its dual-product model — a Gandhinagar plant dedicated to quinoa and related agricultural goods, and a Katihar, Bihar facility focused on makhana processing and farm activities. This vertically integrated approach, covering direct farmer procurement, in-house processing, and complete export documentation, has made Mera Kisan a go-to supplier for global B2B buyers seeking traceable, certified Indian-origin superfoods.
Connecting India's Superfood Potential with Worldwide Demand
Global demand for superfoods has entered its strongest growth phase in a decade. The worldwide superfoods market, valued at roughly USD 188 billion in 2024, is forecast to reach USD 340 billion by 2032, fueled by rising health awareness, adoption of plant-based diets, and growing retail chain penetration in emerging markets.
India has quietly become a key superfood export origin in this expansion. The country's quinoa exports climbed from USD 1.6 million in 2022 to USD 5.4 million in 2024 — a 231 percent jump in just two years. Meanwhile, India shipped over 7,000 metric tonnes of makhana to more than 20 international destinations in FY26, with the domestic makhana sector projected to hit INR 11,000–12,000 crore by 2029–30.
Mera Kisan has been at the forefront of this export wave, building a supply operation that spans both categories under a single supplier relationship.
A Portfolio Designed for Global B2B Buyers.
Mera Kisan's export portfolio includes four bulk quinoa varieties — organic white, red, and black quinoa — along with tri-colour blends for premium retail applications. The company also supplies conventional quinoa in bold, regular, and sortex grades, processed at its Gandhinagar facility to meet diverse international buyer specifications.
Its makhana line offers over 30 flavour options, spanning traditional roasted and lightly salted variants to premium flavoured lines such as peri-peri, cheese, tandoori masala, wasabi, chocolate, and caramel. Multiple grade tiers are available — 5-Suta, 6-Suta, 7-Suta, and Special Hand-Picked Popped — enabling buyers to align sourcing with their retail, food service, and private-label needs.
For food brands looking to launch their own product lines, Mera Kisan provides full private-label manufacturing services with retail-ready packaging in multiple formats — including 25g, 50g, 100g, and 200g pouches for retail, alongside bulk export formats up to 25 kg. Custom labelling accommodates market-specific requirements, including Arabic and English dual-labelling for Middle East markets and USDA-compliant organic packaging for Western retail chains.
The minimum order quantity starts at 500 kg for trial orders, with container-load pricing available for 5 metric tonnes and above.
Certifications That Satisfy Every Major Market Standard
Mera Kisan holds eight international certifications — the deepest certification stack among Indian bulk superfood exporters. These include USDA Organic, NOP/NPOP (National Programme for Organic Production), FSSAI (Food Safety and Standards Authority of India), APEDA (Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority), HACCP, ISO 9001:2015, Halal, and GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative).
This certification depth enables MeraKisan to supply retail chains, food manufacturers, and importers across the USA, UAE, European Union, United Kingdom, Middle East, and Australia without requiring additional recertification — a significant advantage for buyers seeking to streamline their sourcing.
Direct Sourcing from GI-Tagged Regions
MeraKisan's makhana sourcing comes directly from the Mithilanchal belt of Bihar — the region holding the Geographical Indication (GI) tag for Mithila Makhana and producing roughly 85 to 90 percent of India's makhana. Direct procurement from farmers in Darbhanga, Madhubani, Purnia, Katihar, and Supaul districts ensures consistent grade quality, price stability, and full traceability from farm to final destination.
Quinoa cultivation partnerships extend across Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Haryana — the nine Indian states currently producing commercially significant quinoa volumes.
Serving a Global Network of Buyers
Mera Kisan's active export network covers over 30 countries, with the highest-volume corridors including the United States, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Australia, Saudi Arabia, France, and Italy. Recent months have seen the company complete landmark export consignments to China and Canada, while establishing itself as the supply partner for Bhat-Bhateni Supermarket, Nepal's largest retail chain, for makhana distribution.
The company offers both FOB (Free on Board) shipping from Indian ports of Mumbai, Chennai, and Mundra, and CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) delivery to global destination ports. Standard shipping timelines range from 7 to 12 days for Middle East ports, 15 to 20 days for Southeast Asia, and 18 to 28 days for North American and European destinations.
The Case for Indian-Origin Superfood Sourcing
Indian-origin quinoa supplied by Mera Kisan is typically 15 to 25 percent more cost-effective than Peruvian or Bolivian quinoa at comparable quality grades, while faster sea freight timelines to Middle East and Asian markets provide meaningful inventory holding cost advantages for regional buyers. For makhana, India remains the world's dominant origin, with Mera Kisan positioned as a direct-to-source supplier bypassing traditional trader networks.
