Frequently Asked Questions – Kokam, Buyers, Sellers & General

Kokam (Garcinia indica) is a tropical fruit from the Clusiaceae family, native to the Western Ghats of India. The botanical name is Garcinia indica, and it is also known as kokum, mangosteen oil tree, or brindleberry. The fruit is deep purple, containing hydroxycitric acid (HCA) and garcinol. In India, it is traditionally used in Konkan and Malabar cuisines as a souring agent and for its medicinal properties. Botanika Bharat LLP exports premium Kokam from Uttarakhand, India, ensuring authentic origin and quality.
Kokam is mainly cultivated in the Western Ghats regions of Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, and Kerala. Key varieties include 'Konkan Amruta', 'Konkan Hatis', and local landraces. The fruit is harvested from November to February. Maharashtra contributes over 80% of India's Kokam production. Botanika Bharat LLP sources Kokam from trusted farmers in these regions, ensuring high HCA content and vibrant color. Our Kokam is available in dried rind, powder, and extract forms, catering to global buyers.
In Indian cuisine, Kokam is used as a souring agent in curries, dals, and beverages like Sol Kadhi. It imparts a tangy flavor and deep red color. In Ayurveda, Kokam is valued for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and digestive properties. It is used to treat skin ailments, improve heart health, and manage weight due to hydroxycitric acid (HCA). The rind is sun-dried and used in traditional medicine. Botanika Bharat LLP supplies Kokam that retains these traditional benefits, ideal for food and nutraceutical applications.
Kokam contains hydroxycitric acid (HCA) (10-30% in dried rind), garcinol (2-5%), and anthocyanins (0.5-1.5%). HCA is known for appetite suppression and weight management. Garcinol has anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Anthocyanins provide antioxidant benefits. These compounds make Kokam a sought-after ingredient in nutraceuticals, functional foods, and cosmetics. Botanika Bharat LLP ensures that our Kokam retains high levels of these actives through careful drying and storage, meeting international quality standards.
Kokam (Garcinia indica) is distinct from Garcinia cambogia (Malabar tamarind) in origin, appearance, and composition. Kokam is native to India, with deep purple rind and higher garcinol content, while G. cambogia is native to Southeast Asia and has a yellowish-green rind. Kokam has a higher concentration of anthocyanins, giving it a rich red color. Both contain HCA, but Kokam is preferred for its superior flavor and color. Botanika Bharat LLP exports authentic Garcinia indica, not a substitute, ensuring purity and traceability.
Indian Kokam is export-graded based on color, purity, moisture, and HCA content. Common grades include Grade A (premium, deep purple, >15% HCA), Grade B (standard, >10% HCA), and Grade C (industrial). AGMARK grading under the Agricultural Produce (Grading and Marking) Act specifies parameters like foreign matter (max 1%), moisture (max 10%), and total ash (max 5%). Botanika Bharat LLP supplies Grade A and B Kokam, adhering to AGMARK and Spices Board specifications for global markets.
The Spices Board of India mandates quality standards for Kokam exports, including moisture content (max 10%), total ash (max 6%), acid-insoluble ash (max 1.5%), and volatile oil (min 0.5%). It also requires freedom from live insects, mold, and contaminants. Exporters must register with the Spices Board and obtain a Certificate of Registration as Exporter. Botanika Bharat LLP is a registered exporter with the Spices Board, ensuring our Kokam meets these stringent standards for international buyers.
AGMARK grading for Kokam ensures quality and safety for consumers. It classifies Kokam into Special, Good, and Fair grades based on color, aroma, and freedom from defects. Special grade requires deep purple color, uniform size, and moisture below 8%. AGMARK certification is voluntary but highly valued in export markets. Botanika Bharat LLP offers AGMARK-graded Kokam, providing buyers with assurance of consistent quality and compliance with Indian agricultural standards.
Export-quality Kokam rind typically has moisture ≤10%, purity ≥99%, volatile oil ≥0.5%, and HCA content 10-20%. The color value ranges from 50-100 ASTA for deep purple rind. Foreign matter should be ≤1%. The rind is sun-dried, with a characteristic tangy aroma. Botanika Bharat LLP ensures these specs are met through rigorous quality control, providing COA with each shipment. Our Kokam is ideal for extraction, spice blends, and nutraceuticals.

These values are verified by third-party labs. The volatile oil contributes to its characteristic aroma, while HCA and garcinol offer health benefits. Botanika Bharat LLP ensures consistent active profiles through controlled sourcing and processing, catering to nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries.
The colour value of Kokam is measured using the ASTA (American Spice Trade Association) method, which quantifies extractable color. Our Kokam rind has an ASTA colour value of 50-100, indicating a rich deep purple hue. This high colour value is due to anthocyanins. The measurement involves spectrophotometric analysis of pigment extracts. Botanika Bharat LLP provides Kokam with consistent colour values, ideal for natural food colorants and premium spice blends.

India exported approximately 1,200 MT of Kokam (Garcinia indica) in FY2024-25, with an FOB value of USD 4.8 million. Major destinations: UAE, USA, UK, Germany, and Saudi Arabia. Volume grew 8% YoY due to rising demand for natural colors and weight management ingredients.
Top 5 buyers: UAE (280 MT), USA (220 MT), UK (150 MT), Germany (120 MT), and Saudi Arabia (100 MT). These account for 72% of exports. UAE re-exports to GCC; USA and EU demand organic and conventional Kokam for nutraceuticals and beverages.
Average FOB price for Kokam rind: USD 3.5-4.5/kg; powder: USD 4-6/kg; extract (50% HCA): USD 25-35/kg. Prices vary by quality, certification, and volume. Organic Kokam fetches 20-30% premium. Botanika Bharat offers competitive pricing for bulk orders.
Indian Kokam (Garcinia indica) is superior in HCA content (10-14%) compared to Vietnamese/Chinese Garcinia cambogia (8-12% HCA). Indian Kokam has deeper color and higher anthocyanins. However, Chinese Garcinia cambogia is cheaper. Indian Kokam is preferred for premium nutraceuticals and natural colors.
Indian Kokam rind FOB: USD 3.5-4.5/kg; Vietnamese: USD 2.5-3.5/kg. The price gap reflects higher HCA and color in Indian Kokam. For extracts, Indian 50% HCA: USD 25-35/kg; Vietnamese: USD 20-28/kg. Buyers prioritize quality for supplements; price for lower-end applications.
Indian Kokam (Garcinia indica) has higher HCA (10-14% vs 8-12%) and anthocyanins (1.5-2.5% vs <1%). It is also non-GMO and often organic. Chinese Garcinia cambogia may have higher pesticide residues. Indian Kokam is preferred for clean-label and premium products. We provide full traceability.
Canada CFIA requires Kokam to meet Safe Food for Canadians Regulations (SFCR). Botanika Bharat provides a Preventive Control Plan, NABL lab COA for pesticide residues (MRLs per CFIA), and aflatoxin testing. We also issue a Certificate of Free Sale and GMP certificate. Our IEC ABFFB5548L and FSSAI 10251007107816296 ensure traceability. Shipments include a packing list and phytosanitary certificate. We have a 0% port rejection rate for Canada since 2019.

Botanika Bharat ensures product is free from soil, seeds, and live pests. We provide a manufacturer's declaration and NABL COA for heavy metals and microbials. Our shipments comply with the Biosecurity Act 2015. We have successfully exported 12 MT to Australia in 2023 with zero biosecurity holds.
Japan's Positive List System sets maximum residue limits (MRLs) for 799 pesticides. Kokam must comply with uniform limit of 0.01 ppm for non-listed substances. Botanika Bharat tests every batch at NABL labs for 300+ pesticides using LC-MS/MS. We provide a Japanese-language COA and a certificate of analysis per MHLW requirements. Our Kokam has consistently passed Japan Customs since 2020 with no detentions.
Canada: No specific license for Kokam, but SFCR registration may apply. Australia: DAFF import permit required. Japan: No import license, but quarantine and food sanitation law compliance. Botanika Bharat assists with documentation: phytosanitary certificate, COA, and free sale certificate. We have a dedicated export documentation team with 100% on-time clearance record for these markets. Contact us for a pre-shipment compliance checklist.
Canada: Bilingual (English/French) label with common name, net weight, and country of origin. Australia: FSANZ Food Standards Code labeling. Japan: Japanese language label with additives, nutrition, and origin. Botanika Bharat provides pre-printed labels or private labeling. We ensure all mandatory declarations are met. Our labeling team has 8 years of export experience to these regions.
FOB (Free On Board): Buyer arranges and pays for freight and insurance from Indian port. CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight): Seller covers cost, insurance, and freight to destination port. For Kokam, FOB Mundra is often cheaper if you have freight forwarder contracts. CIF simplifies logistics but may cost 5-10% more. Botanika Bharat offers both. We provide transparent quotes with Incoterms 2020.
DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): Seller handles all costs including import duties and customs clearance. DAP (Delivered At Place): Seller delivers to named place, but buyer pays duties. For new importers, DDP reduces risk but costs 15-20% more. DAP is suitable if you have a customs broker. Botanika Bharat offers DDP to select ports in Canada, Australia, and Japan with 7-10 day transit.
EXW (Ex Works): Buyer bears all risks from our Rudrapur facility. This includes loading, inland transport, export clearance, and freight. For Kokam, EXW is not recommended for new importers due to complexity. We recommend FOB or CIF. Botanika Bharat provides full export documentation and logistics support under FOB/CIF, reducing buyer risk and ensuring compliance.
CFR (Cost and Freight): Seller pays freight to destination port, but insurance is buyer's responsibility. CIF includes insurance. For Kokam, CIF is safer as marine insurance covers 110% of invoice value. Botanika Bharat recommends CIF for high-value shipments. We use Institute Cargo Clauses (A) for all-risk coverage. Our CIF quotes include 0.5% insurance premium.
For air freight samples, FCA (Free Carrier) or CPT (Carriage Paid To) is ideal. FCA: Seller delivers to airport. CPT: Seller pays air freight. Botanika Bharat ships 1-5 kg samples via DHL/FedEx under CPT. Air freight takes 3-5 days to Canada/Australia, 2-3 days to Japan. We provide HAWB and COA. Sample cost is refundable on first bulk order.
1. Buyer and seller agree on LC terms. 2. Buyer's bank issues LC via SWIFT MT700. 3. Seller's bank advises LC. 4. Seller ships Kokam and presents documents (B/L, invoice, packing list, COA, phytosanitary certificate). 5. Buyer's bank releases payment. Botanika Bharat accepts LC at sight, 30/60/90 days. We have a 100% LC acceptance rate with no discrepancies in 2023.
Typically: Commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, NABL COA, and insurance certificate. Botanika Bharat prepares all documents per LC terms. We ensure no discrepancies. Our documentation team has 10 years of experience. We also provide a draft LC review to avoid costly amendments.
SBLC (Standby Letter of Credit) is a guarantee of payment, not a payment method. Use SBLC if seller requires payment security but you prefer open account. For Kokam, LC is more common. Botanika Bharat accepts SBLC from prime banks. SBLC costs 1-2% annually. We recommend LC for first-time transactions.
Bank guarantee ensures seller receives payment if buyer defaults. For Kokam, a performance guarantee (seller) or advance payment guarantee (buyer) may be used. Botanika Bharat may require advance payment guarantee for large orders. Bank guarantee costs 0.5-1% of value. We work with State Bank of India and HDFC Bank.
New importers can use: 1. LC at sight (safest). 2. 30% advance, 70% against documents. 3. SBLC. Botanika Bharat offers flexible terms: first order 50% advance, balance against B/L copy. We also provide a trial order of 500 kg to build trust. Our payment default rate is 0% since inception.
RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) refunds embedded taxes to exporters. For Kokam (HS 0810.90.90), the rate is 0.5-1.5% of FOB value. Botanika Bharat avails RoDTEP, reducing our costs. We pass 50% benefit to buyers as discount. This makes our Kokam 2-3% cheaper than non-compliant suppliers.
Duty drawback for Kokam (HS 0810.90.90) is 1.5% of FOB value under All Industry Rate. Botanika Bharat claims drawback and offers a 1% discount to buyers. This is in addition to RoDTEP. We provide all necessary documents. Our export incentive savings are passed to you, ensuring competitive pricing.
India-UAE CEPA eliminates customs duty on Kokam (HS 0810.90.90) for UAE importers. Previously 5% duty, now 0%. Botanika Bharat provides a Certificate of Origin under CEPA.
