Demand for psyllium husk is rising in health‑conscious markets. India can supply high‑quality product at competitive prices.
Grades and specifications
Psyllium husk is graded by fibre content, particle size and moisture level. Buyers usually ask for 80–90% fibre, 0.5–1.5 mm particle size, moisture below 5% and packaging in 25 kg or 50 kg bulk bags or 1 kg sachets for retail.
