SAI AGRO BRAZIL sources and exports premium flax seeds (linseed) from Brazil’s production regions to food processors, health food manufacturers, oil extractors, and feed producers worldwide. Brazil is a significant global flax seed producer, with cultivation concentrated in Rio Grande do Sul, Parana, and Santa Catarina states. Our flax seeds deliver high oil content (38-42%) rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA omega-3), complete protein (20-24%), dietary fiber, and lignans. Available in brown and golden varieties, whole and milled forms. Brazilian flax offers competitive pricing, modern processing infrastructure, and reliable year-round supply. Comprehensive documentation including phytosanitary certificates and SGS inspection provided with every shipment.
SAI AGRO BRAZIL supplies premium flax seeds (Linum usitatissimum L.) from Brazil’s production regions in Rio Grande do Sul, Parana, and Santa Catarina states. Flax is one of the oldest cultivated crops, valued for both its oil-rich seeds and fiber. Our flax seeds are harvested at optimal maturity, cleaned, and processed to international food safety standards. The seeds deliver exceptional oil content (38-42%) rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the plant-based omega-3 fatty acid, along with protein (20-24%), dietary fiber (25-30%), and lignans with antioxidant properties.
We offer two primary varieties. Brown flax seeds are the most common, with a slightly nuttier flavor and darker color. Brown flax is widely used in bread, cereals, and whole grain products. Golden flax seeds have a milder, slightly sweeter taste and lighter golden color, preferred by bakers for blending into light-colored products (muffins, pancakes, tortillas) where dark specks are undesirable. Both varieties have comparable oil content (38-42%) and nutritional profiles. Available in whole and milled (ground) forms.
Brazil offers competitive advantages for flax sourcing: competitive pricing versus Canadian and European origins, modern processing and cleaning infrastructure, reliable supply from southern production regions, comprehensive export documentation, and proximity to Americas markets. Brazilian flax is non-GMO, available organic certified, and cultivated under favorable temperate climate conditions producing consistent quality seeds with high oil content.

Brazilian flax seeds serve five key market segments. Bakery: whole and milled flax for bread, muffins, granola, cereals, and crackers, adding omega-3, fiber, and nutty flavor. Oil extraction: flax seeds for cold-pressed linseed oil production, the richest plant source of omega-3 ALA, used in supplements and food formulations. Health foods: flax for functional food products leveraging omega-3, fiber, and lignan content. Animal feed: flax for poultry and livestock feed enrichment, improving omega-3 content in eggs and meat. Industrial: linseed oil for paint, varnish, and wood finish production (drying oil properties).
Flax seeds ship in 20-foot dry containers. Standard load: 18-20 MT per 20-foot container in 25kg or 50kg polypropylene bags with inner PE liner for moisture protection. Loading ports: Rio Grande (Rio Grande do Sul) and Paranagua (Parana) provide direct container services from Brazil’s flax-growing regions. Ocean transit times: Europe 18-24 days, North America 15-22 days, Middle East 22-30 days, Asia 30-40 days. Ambient container shipping sufficient – cold chain not required. Milled flax should be shipped in nitrogen-flushed packaging to minimize oxidation. All shipments include phytosanitary certificate and full export documentation.
We export both brown and golden flax seeds. Brown flax is the most common variety with a slightly nuttier flavor. Golden flax has a milder taste and lighter color, preferred by bakers for blending into light-colored products. Both have comparable oil content (38-42%) and nutritional profiles. Whole and milled forms available.
Brazilian flax seeds contain 38-42% oil content, rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA omega-3). The oil is valued for cold-pressed production and as an ingredient in health food formulations. Flax oil has the highest plant-based omega-3 concentration of any common oilseed.
Yes. We supply whole flax seeds and milled (ground) flax meal. Milled flax is preferred by bakery manufacturers for direct incorporation into dough and batter formulations. Milled flax has a shelf life of 6-12 months (versus 24+ months for whole seeds) due to oil oxidation after grinding. We recommend ordering whole seeds for maximum shelf stability and milling locally, or ordering milled flax for immediate production use.
MOQ is 10 metric tons per shipment. Mixed container loads with chia seeds or sesame seeds available. Volume pricing: 10-20 MT (standard), 20-50 MT (volume discount), 50+ MT annually (contract pricing). Samples available for quality evaluation.
Every shipment includes phytosanitary certificate (MAPA), SGS or Bureau Veritas inspection certificate, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, and packing list. Organic certification available through SisOrg system (EU/USDA NOP equivalent). Additional testing for pesticide residues, heavy metals, and mycotoxins available upon request.
