Black Pepper 550/570/580 GL FAQ

Black pepper is one of the most commonly used spices worldwide. It’s made by grinding peppercorns, which are dried berries from the vine Piper nigrum. It has a sharp and mildly spicy flavor that goes well with many dishes. But black pepper is more than just a kitchen staple. It has been deemed the 'king of spices' and used in ancient Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years due to its high concentration of potent, beneficial plant compounds. Black pepper is rich in a potent antioxidant called piperine, which may help prevent free radical damage to your cells. It may improve blood sugar control and has demonstrated cholesterol-lowering effects in rodent studies. Additionally, it may increase the absorption of essential nutrients and beneficial plant compounds.View specifications ↓

Production Process

01Raw Material Sourcing

Agrikim sources spices, nuts and agricultural commodities from major cultivation areas across Vietnam. For cassia, the company states that raw bark is purchased directly from farmers and processed at its facility in Dong Anh, while star anise is sourced from northern growing areas such as Lang Son.

02Cleaning, Sorting & Grading

Raw materials are inspected and separated according to the requirements of each commodity. Pepper can be cleaned and graded by density, while cassia and star anise are sorted by size, form, moisture and foreign-matter content. Cashew kernels are classified into commercial grades such as W180, W210, W240, W320, W450 and broken grades.

03Product-Specific Processing

Processing is adapted to the final specification required by the buyer. Agrikim produces machine-cleaned and ground pepper, peeled white pepper, multiple cassia formats and processed cashew kernels. Ground pepper can also undergo ETO or steam sterilization upon request, while cassia is offered as whole, split, pressed, broken, cut and powdered products.

04Quality Inspection & Shipment Testing

Products are checked against defined parameters such as moisture, admixture, density, size and product condition before release. Agrikim states that its factory operates under ISO 22000:2018, and that SGS inspection certificates can be provided for individual shipments together with other documents requested by buyers.

05Customized Packing & Export

Approved goods are packed according to commodity and customer requirements, from PP, jute and Kraft bags for spices to vacuum-packed cartons for cashew kernels. Agrikim also supports export documentation including Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, Phytosanitary Certificate, Fumigation Certificate and other destination-specific documents.
