Indian Red Chillies
From Guntur to the World

Why Gaman Impex Chillies?

When you source chillies from Gaman Impex, you get more than a product — you get a reliable supply chain partner with deep roots in Guntur's chilli ecosystem.

Guntur Chilli Market — The Global Spice Capital

Guntur, located in the Krishna-Godavari delta region of Andhra Pradesh, India, is recognized worldwide as the epicenter of the global red chilli trade. The Guntur APMC yard is the largest chilli market in Asia, handling millions of quintals of dry red chillies every season. The district's unique alluvial soil, semi-arid climate, and centuries of agricultural tradition create ideal conditions for growing some of the world's finest chilli varieties.

The chilli varieties traded in Guntur span a remarkable spectrum. At the high-heat end sits the fiery Teja S17, reaching up to 100,000 SHU — one of the hottest commercially traded chillies globally. At the other end, the Byadgi chilli offers exceptional ASTA color values exceeding 200 with relatively mild heat — making it prized by oleoresin and paprika industries. Between these extremes sit versatile varieties like the S4 Guntur Sannam, 334 Sanam, and 341 Variety, which balance heat and color to serve a wide range of food industries worldwide.

India's dry red chilli exports consistently rank among the world's largest, with annual export volumes exceeding 4 lakh metric tonnes. Guntur accounts for a major share of this output. Gaman Impex operates from Guntur with direct market access, enabling us to source the freshest chillies at competitive prices. Our processing facility handles cleaning, sorting, de-stemming, and packaging — transforming raw chillies from the market into export-ready products meeting international food safety standards including EU pesticide residue regulations and FSSAI aflatoxin limits.
