Key Export Varieties
Teja (S-17): The "Fire" of India. It is the most exported variety due to its extreme pungency and high capsaicin content. Essential for hot sauces and spice blends in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
Byadgi / Kashmiri: The "Painter" of spices. Known for its deep, wine-red color and mild heat. It is used to give a rich red hue to food without making it overly spicy. Highly prized in Europe and the USA.
S-4 (Sanam): The balanced all-rounder. It has moderate heat and decent color, making it the standard choice for general culinary use and industrial grinding.
334 / 273: Specialized varieties with medium heat, often used for manufacturing chilli flakes and pizza toppings.
Packaging & Logistics
Bulk Packing: 10kg, 15kg, or 25kg New Jute/PP Bags.
Specialized Packing: Vacuum-packed bags to preserve color and prevent "fading" over long sea voyages.
Stuffing Capacity:
40ft HC Container: Approx. 12–14 Metric Tons (Whole Chilli is light but bulky).
Pressed Bales: Using hydraulic presses, capacity can be increased to 18–20 Metric Tons for industrial buyers.

Product Description
The Vibrant Spice of India: R&B International Dry Red Chilli
R&B International is a premier exporter of premium Indian Dry Red Chillies, sourced directly from the famous Guntur and Byadgi markets. Our chillies are sun-dried to perfection, ensuring they retain their natural oils, pungent aroma, and vibrant pigments that define cuisines across the globe.
The R&B International Advantage:
Direct Sourcing from the Hub: By sourcing directly from the farm belts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, we ensure the freshest harvest with the highest "Pungency-to-Price" ratio.
Custom Stem Removal: We offer chillies in three formats: With Stem, Stemless, and Cut/Crushed. Our stemless variety is processed with precision, ensuring no damage to the chilli pod, which is ideal for high-end retail and grinding.
Color Retention Technology: We understand that red chillies lose color when exposed to heat and light. Our storage and shipping protocols use temperature-controlled environments to ensure the ASTA (color value) remains stable from our warehouse to your port.
Zero Adulteration Guarantee: We strictly adhere to international food safety norms. Every batch is guaranteed to be free from artificial colors (Sudan Dye) and meets the rigorous Aflatoxin limits required by the EU and US-FDA.
From the intense spice of Sichuan to the deep red sauces of Mexico, R&B International delivers the authentic heat and color of India’s finest chillies.
Strategic Tip for R&B International:
The "Stemless" Premium: Always suggest Stemless chilli to your European and American buyers. While the price per kg is higher (due to labor and weight loss of the stem), it saves the buyer significant costs in processing and waste disposal. More importantly, stemless chilli occupies less volume, allowing you to fit more weight into the container, effectively lowering the per-kg freight cost.
