Frequently Asked Questions
What is Guar Korma?
Guar Korma is the protein-rich hull (husk) fraction separated from the guar bean during Guar Gum splits processing. Toasted Guar Korma contains 28–32% crude protein and is used as a feed-grade ingredient in poultry, dairy and aquaculture rations.
What is the difference between Guar Korma and Guar Churi?
Guar Korma is the toasted hull/husk fraction (28–32% protein, higher fibre). Guar Churi is the toasted germ fraction (50–58% protein, lower fibre). Both are by-products of Guar Gum processing; the combined product is called Guar Meal.
What is Guar Korma used for?
Guar Korma is primarily used in cattle feed, poultry feed, aquaculture feed (shrimp, tilapia, pangasius), pet food and pellet binders. Its fibre content also makes it suitable for ruminant diets where rumen-fermentable fibre is valued.
Is Guar Korma exported from India?
Yes. India is the world's largest exporter of Guar Korma. Major destinations in 2026 include the USA, Vietnam, Thailand, South Korea, Iran, Bangladesh and the EU. APEDA registration and FSSAI feed-grade compliance apply to all export shipments.
What is the typical price of Guar Korma?
FOB Mundra prices for toasted Guar Korma (30% protein) typically trade USD 280–420 per MT in 2026, varying with the kharif crop, soybean meal parity, freight costs and India's export tariff posture. Contact B D Guar for live spot quotes.
How is Guar Korma packaged for export?
Standard export packaging is 50 kg PP bags (with or without liner) loaded 24–25 MT per 20-ft FCL. Jumbo bags (500–1,000 kg) and break-bulk options are available on request. All packaging meets ISPM-15 phytosanitary requirements.
