Available in whole fingers, ground powder, and oleoresin extract forms. Curcumin is the primary bioactive compound valued for natural coloring (E100), anti-inflammatory properties, and antioxidant benefits. Brazilian turmeric offers competitive pricing versus Indian and Vietnamese origins, with modern processing and consistent curcumin levels verified by HPLC analysis. HACCP, BRC, and IFS certified facilities ensure international food safety standards.
SAI AGRO BRAZIL supplies premium turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) from Brazil’s production regions in Parana, Sao Paulo, and Bahia states. Turmeric is a rhizomatous perennial plant from the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), cultivated for its bright orange-yellow rhizomes containing curcuminoid compounds. Brazil’s tropical and subtropical climate produces turmeric with consistent curcumin levels year-round. Our turmeric is harvested at optimal maturity, boiled or steamed (traditional processing for color development), dried, and processed to international food safety standards. The primary bioactive compound – curcumin – provides the characteristic golden color and is the basis for the spice’s value in food color, supplement, and cosmetic applications.
We offer three primary forms. Whole turmeric fingers: dried rhizomes in finger or bulblet form, graded by size and color. Preferred for spice grinding, retail packaging, and traditional markets. Ground turmeric powder: available in various mesh sizes (40, 60, 80, 100 mesh) for food manufacturing, seasoning blends, and curry preparations. Curcumin content varies by grade. Turmeric oleoresin: concentrated extract produced by acetone or ethanol extraction, standardized to specific curcumin concentrations (5-40%). Used for natural food color (E100), supplement formulations, and cosmetic products requiring uniform color intensity.
Brazil offers competitive advantages for turmeric sourcing: competitive pricing versus Indian and Vietnamese origins, expanding production with modern processing, consistent curcumin levels verified by HPLC, HACCP/BRC/IFS certified facilities, comprehensive documentation, and growing organic turmeric production. Brazilian turmeric is non-GMO and cultivated under favorable tropical conditions. Our multi-origin sourcing within Brazil ensures supply continuity across harvest cycles.

Turmeric ships 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. Oleoresin shipped in food-grade drums or buckets depending on volume. Loading ports: Santos (Sao Paulo) and Paranagua (Parana) provide direct container services. 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 for dried turmeric. All shipments include phytosanitary certificate, SGS or Bureau Veritas inspection, and full export documentation.
Standard Brazilian turmeric contains 3-5% curcumin content. Premium high-curcumin varieties are available at 7%+ curcumin for applications requiring intense color and higher curcuminoid concentration. Curcumin content varies by variety, growing conditions, and post-harvest handling. We provide HPLC analysis with every shipment.
We export whole turmeric fingers, ground turmeric powder (various mesh sizes), and turmeric oleoresin (standardized curcumin content). Whole fingers are preferred for spice grinding and retail packaging. Ground powder is used for food manufacturing and seasoning blends. Oleoresin is used for food color, supplements, and cosmetic applications where standardized curcumin concentration is required.
Turmeric oleoresin is a concentrated extract produced by solvent extraction of ground turmeric. It contains curcuminoids (curcumin and related compounds) in a liquid or semi-solid form, standardized to specific curcumin concentrations (typically 5-40%). Oleoresin is used as a natural food color (E100), in supplement formulations, and in cosmetic products where uniform color intensity is required. Solvent residues meet food-grade specifications.
MOQ is 5 metric tons per shipment for whole and ground turmeric. Oleoresin MOQ is typically 500 kg due to packaging requirements. Mixed container loads with black pepper, ginger, or other spices available. Volume pricing: 5-15 MT (standard), 15-30 MT (volume discount), 30+ 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. HACCP, BRC, and IFS certified processing facilities. Organic certification available through SisOrg system.
