Published on 2025-01-10

TL;DR

Understand what makhana (fox nuts) is, how it is graded, and why it offers strong margins for traders, wholesalers, and bulk buyers.

What is Makhana?

Makhana, also known as fox nuts, is an aquatic seed grown mainly in Bihar and Eastern India. It is valued in wholesale trade for its long shelf life, low moisture content, and strong demand from retailers, snack brands, and exporters.

Why Makhana Is Valuable in Wholesale Trade

Makhana offers several commercial advantages for bulk buyers:

  • Long shelf life with minimal spoilage risk
  • Lightweight product with high per-kg value
  • Consistent demand in domestic and export markets
  • Easy bulk storage and transportation

Wholesale & Trader Perspective

For traders and wholesalers, makhana provides predictable turnover and scalable margins. Pricing transparency is achieved through grading based on suta size, which allows buyers to match product quality with resale strategy.

Why Buyers Prefer Farm-Sourced Makhana

Direct sourcing reduces quality variation and price volatility. At Makhana Farm Co., makhana is supplied in sealed 10kg wholesale bags sourced directly from farming clusters.
