Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a highly sought-after spice derived from the inner bark of trees belonging to the Cinnamomum genus. Known for its warm, sweet aroma and distinctive flavour, cinnamon is used worldwide in culinary, beverage, confectionery, and medicinal applications. The spice comes in two main varieties—Ceylon Cinnamon (true cinnamon), prized for its delicate sweetness, and Cassia Cinnamon, valued for its robust, spicy flavour.
For export, cinnamon is available in multiple forms, including whole quills (sticks), broken pieces (quilling’s), and finely ground powder, with strict adherence to international quality and hygiene standards. Rich in antioxidants and essential oils, cinnamon enjoys strong global demand in both food and pharmaceutical markets, making it a profitable and versatile commodity in international trade.
