SAI AGRO BRAZIL is a Brazilian exporter of premium cracked wheat (bulgur), supplying breakfast cereal manufacturers, bakery operations, and food processing companies worldwide. Our cracked wheat is produced from high-quality Brazilian wheat through cleaning, tempering, cracking, and sieving processes. Available in coarse, medium, and fine particle sizes with protein content 10-13% and moisture 12% maximum. Inherently non-GMO (Brazil does not grow genetically modified wheat). Shipment terms include FOB, CFR, and CIF from Paranagua and Rio Grande ports with MOQ starting at one 20-foot container (20-27 MT). All shipments include MAPA phytosanitary certification and certificate of origin.
Cracked wheat, also known as bulgur wheat or crushed wheat, is a whole grain product produced from premium Brazilian wheat grain through controlled milling that breaks cleaned wheat kernels into uniform coarse particles. The production process involves cleaning wheat kernels to remove foreign material, tempering to adjust moisture content for optimal cracking, cracking through roller mills to break kernels into coarse particles, and sieving to achieve the desired particle size (coarse, medium, or fine grade). Unlike whole wheat kernels, cracked wheat has a shorter cooking time and is easier to digest while retaining the bran, germ, and endosperm for full nutritional value.
Brazil produces approximately 500,000-700,000 metric tons of cracked wheat annually (2025 estimate, ABIMILL), with production concentrated in Parana (40% of national capacity), Rio Grande do Sul (30%), and Santa Catarina (20%). Brazilian cracked wheat is produced from premium hard red wheat and soft white wheat varieties, depending on buyer specifications. SAI AGRO BRAZIL supplies cracked wheat from modern milling facilities operating under strict quality control protocols, with every shipment including phytosanitary certification and certificate of origin.
Brazilian cracked wheat is available in three particle size grades to meet different application requirements. Coarse grade cracked wheat has particle sizes of 3-5mm, ideal for breakfast cereals, multigrain bread, and pilaf applications where distinct wheat particles are desired. Medium grade cracked wheat has particle sizes of 2-3mm, suitable for porridge, instant cereal products, and bakery applications where moderate particle size provides texture without overwhelming the final product. Fine grade cracked wheat has particle sizes of 1-2mm, used in food processing applications requiring smaller particle integration, such as instant soups, sauces, and processed meat products.
Particle size affects cooking time, texture, and application suitability. Coarse grade requires 15-20 minutes cooking time and provides chewy texture, medium grade requires 10-15 minutes and provides balanced texture, fine grade requires 5-10 minutes and provides smooth texture. Buyers should specify their required particle size when requesting a quote, and we will match the appropriate grade to their application. SAI AGRO BRAZIL provides sieve analysis certificates with each shipment, confirming particle size distribution meets buyer specifications.
Brazilian cracked wheat offers three competitive advantages for international buyers. First, non-GMO status: Brazil’s wheat production does not use genetically modified wheat varieties, making all Brazilian cracked wheat inherently non-GMO. This provides a significant advantage for buyers requiring non-GMO ingredients for health food, organic, and clean-label products. Second, counter-seasonal availability: Brazilian wheat harvests during November through February (southern hemisphere summer), providing cracked wheat availability during the first quarter of the calendar year when Northern Hemisphere wheat from the United States, Canada, and Europe is either not yet harvested or already committed to forward contracts.
Third, competitive pricing: Brazilian cracked wheat typically costs 10-20% less than equivalent cracked wheat from the United States, Canada, or European Union, due to lower production costs and favorable exchange rates. Brazilian wheat benefits from the country’s tropical and subtropical climate, which allows for two harvest windows per year in some regions, providing more flexible supply timing compared to single-harvest origins. The country’s grain infrastructure includes modern milling facilities, certified storage silos, and direct port access through Santos, Paranagua, and Rio Grande terminals, ensuring efficient delivery from farm to vessel.

Test methods follow ICC (International Association for Cereal Science and Technology) official methods. Independent inspection agencies (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Cotecna) verify all parameters at the port of loading before shipment. Sieve analysis confirms particle size distribution for each grade (coarse, medium, fine). Gluten index testing confirms gluten content for buyers requiring gluten-free alternatives (cracked wheat contains gluten and is not suitable for gluten-free applications).
Every shipment of Brazilian cracked wheat includes comprehensive documentation. The phytosanitary certificate, issued by MAPA (Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture), confirms the product meets plant health requirements of the destination country and is free from quarantine pests. The certificate of origin, issued by the Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, establishes the Brazilian source for customs clearance and trade agreement benefits. The quality and weight certificate, issued by independent inspection agencies (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Cotecna), provides third-party verification of shipment specifications including protein content, moisture levels, particle size distribution, and foreign matter.
Additional documentation available upon request: fumigation certificate (for destinations requiring pre-shipment treatment), analysis certificate (detailed laboratory report covering proximate composition, mycotoxin screening, pesticide residue analysis), sieve analysis certificate (confirming particle size distribution for each grade), and non-GMO verification certificate (confirming absence of GMO traits through PCR testing). All documentation complies with international trade regulations for agricultural commodities and food ingredients.
Brazilian cracked wheat serves five primary applications in the food processing industry. Breakfast cereals use cracked wheat in muesli, granola, multigrain cereal blends, and porridge mixes. The coarse grade provides distinct wheat particles and chewy texture, while medium grade provides balanced texture for instant cereal products. Commercial bakery uses cracked wheat in multigrain bread, cracked wheat bread, specialty rolls, and baked goods. The medium and fine grades integrate well into dough formulations, providing texture and nutritional enhancement without overwhelming the final product.
Food processing uses cracked wheat in instant cereal packets, ready-to-eat meal products, snack formulations, instant soups, and sauces. The fine grade provides smooth texture and rapid cooking time for convenience food applications. Animal feed uses cracked wheat as a carbohydrate component in livestock and poultry feed rations, providing energy and protein for balanced nutrition. Health foods use cracked wheat in high-fiber, whole grain, and organic food products, appealing to health-conscious consumers seeking natural, minimally processed ingredients. Each application requires specific particle size, protein content, and moisture levels, which Brazilian cracked wheat consistently meets.
Our primary buyer segments for cracked wheat include: (1) Breakfast cereal manufacturers producing muesli, granola, multigrain cereal blends, and porridge mixes, with monthly requirements of 100-1,000 metric tons; (2) Commercial bakeries producing multigrain bread, cracked wheat bread, and specialty rolls, with monthly requirements of 50-500 metric tons; (3) Food processing companies creating instant cereal packets, ready-to-eat meals, snack formulations, and instant soups, with quarterly requirements of 200-2,000 metric tons; (4) Health food manufacturers creating high-fiber, whole grain, and organic food products, with monthly requirements of 50-500 metric tons; (5) Animal feed manufacturers using cracked wheat as carbohydrate component in livestock and poultry feed, with annual requirements of 500-5,000 metric tons; (6) Food ingredient distributors supplying regional food processors, with quarterly requirements of 100-1,000 metric tons.
