Le Duong Spices

Vietnam is the world’s largest exporter of black pepper and a leading exporter of cassia and star anise. Pepper grows in the Central Highlands and the Southeast; cassia and star anise come from the Northern mountains; chili from the Mekong Delta and the Central coast.

Le Duong Cashew Co., Ltd. manufactures and exports cashew kernels from its own factories in Dong Nai. Le Duong Spices brings the same export method to spices. We work with selected Vietnamese processors in the growing regions and manage the specification, sampling, pre-shipment inspection, packing, loading supervision and export documents. We do not own spice farms or processing plants.

Every spice offer starts from the destination market. Cleaning standard, residue limits, fumigation and documents differ between the EU, the US, the Middle East and Asia, so we fix them in the specification before we quote a price, not after loading.

• Grade, density, moisture, foreign matter and cleaning method agreed in writing before the offer.
• Machine cleaning or steam treatment where the contract requires it.
• Type sample before contract; pre-shipment sample from the packed lot.
• Pesticide residues, aflatoxin, microbiology and other parameters tested to destination limits (for example EU MRLs) by an accredited laboratory on request.
• Fumigation certificate when required; third-party inspection (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Vinacontrol) at your request.
• Full document set with each shipment. See our quality process.
