Bihar is the undisputed source of 90% of the world's makhana, but not all suppliers are created equal. As of 2026, the global market demands more than just a product; it demands traceability, certification, and consistent grading. At PLS Agro Foods, we have established ourselves as the definitive Bihar makhana supplier for businesses that refuse to compromise on quality. Based in Katihar, the primary industrial heart of the makhana trade, we bridge the gap between traditional wetland farming and modern international commerce.
The Strategic Advantage of Our Bihar-Based Supply Chain
Choosing a direct Bihar makhana supplier like PLS Agro Foods provides your business with structural advantages that secondary traders in other states cannot replicate:
1. GI-Tagged Authenticity: Every batch we supply carries the legacy of the Mithila Makhana GI Tag. This certification is your legal guarantee that the product possesses the unique mineral profile and superior expansion ratio found only in North Bihar’s soil.
2. Current Season Mandi Access: Being located in the Katihar-Purnia belt allows us to offer "farm-gate" pricing. In February 2026, our rates reflect the most competitive market movements, ensuring you avoid the 15-25% markups typically added by regional distributors.
3. Precision Suta Grading: We utilize advanced mechanical sorters to categorize our supply into strict industry sizes:
- 7+ Suta (Jumbo): For luxury retail and premium gifting.
- 6 Suta (Standard Export): The benchmark for global snack manufacturers.
- 5 Suta (Medium): Ideal for industrial food ingredients and private labels.
- 4+ Suta (Economy): Cost-effective bulk supply for catering.
4. Compliance & Export Readiness: Our operations are fully integrated with the standards set by the National Makhana Board and APEDA. We provide complete documentation packages, including FSSAI, HACCP, and Phytosanitary certificates, making us the preferred supplier for importers in the USA, UAE, and Europe.
