• Agents/Brokers• Traders/Importers• Grinders/Processors• End Users

Brokers are intermediaries that bring buyers and sellers together, for which service they get paid a commission.

Spices and herbs do not physically come into the possession of brokers.

Customers can be trading companies, but are mostly processors. Especially when a trader or importer is unknown, a broker will be used as an intermediary to diminish the risk involved.

In certain cases, brokers represent a specific party either as its selling agent or its purchasing agent.

These specialised traders import on their own account and sell to grinders/processors and directly to major end users.

They mainly buy bulk quantities of un ground spices and resell them at an increased price.

The importer is responsible for all costs associated with import, such as duty, terminal fees, unloading charges, and local delivery and warehouse costs.

The major trading centres for spices are New York, Rotterdam, London, Hamburg and Singapore.

Organic traders are often specialised in a broader range of organic products, instead of purely herbs and spices

• Grinders and processors purchase raw spices and perform cleaning, grinding and (retail/catering) packaging.

• They have central warehouses for distribution to industrial users throughout specific areas, or they deliver directly to the distribution centres of supermarkets or institutional users.

• Next to the (few) specialised organic grinders and processors, conventional grinders and processors are also increasingly making their inroads into the organic sector.

• The largest user group is the food-processing industry.

• Requirements are purchased either from grinders/processors or directly from importing/trading companies, and in some (rare) cases directly from foreign producers.
