Kazakhstan Flaxseed (Linseed) Supplier & Exporter: Food-Grade & Oilseed from Zenith Eclipse Co

Why Source Flaxseed from Kazakhstan?

1) Competitive origin with scale

Kazakhstan is a major player for brown flaxseed (linseed), supplying steady volumes into the GCC, South Asia, East Africa, and Europe. Route optionality (rail + sea, direct container corridors) keeps landed costs attractive and schedules reliable.

2) Quality suited to both food and oilseed streams

Dry continental harvest conditions support storability and oil development. Programs are available for food-grade whole flaxseed (for bakery, cereals, nut & seed mixes) and oilseed-grade for cold-pressed or expeller oil, with flaxseed meal as a valuable co-product for feed.

3) Non-GMO by default

Kazakhstan flaxseed is generally non-GMO, which simplifies compliance and labeling in many destination markets. (If you require formal non-GMO declarations, we include them in the document pack where available.)

4) Logistics advantage

Multiple corridors into Jebel Ali, Sohar, Karachi, Nhava Sheva/Mundra, Chittagong, Mombasa, and Dar es Salaam allow us to time bookings around port congestion and seasonal freight surcharges.

What We Supply: Grades, Target Specs & Packaging

We tailor each offer to your RFQ and contract the binding specs in the SPA. The values below are indicative targets frequently requested by buyers. Final parameters are agreed in writing and, where applicable, verified by independent surveyors (SGS/BV or equivalent).

A) Food-Grade Brown Flaxseed (Whole)

• Moisture: ≤ 8.0–9.0% (target ≤ 8.0% on request)
• Oil Content (db): ≥ 42–44% (programs available with ≥ 44%)
• Admixture/Impurities: ≤ 1.5–2.0% (define sieve method in SPA)
• Broken/Cracked: As agreed (often ≤ 3–5%)
• Ash: ≈ 2.5–3.0% (COA basis)
• Odor/Color/Insects: Normal for sound, merchantable seeds; live infestation nil
• Food Safety: Residues/mycotoxins/micro limits as per destination (declare methods—e.g., ISO/ICC—where required)

B) Oilseed-Grade (Crushing)

• Moisture: ≤ 8.0–9.0%
• Oil Content (db): ≥ 40–44% (by negotiation)
• Admixture/Impurities: Typically ≤ 2.0%
• Damaged/Heated: Contract-specific caps
• FFA/Peroxide Value: If needed for cold-press specs, include target in SPA
• Aflatoxins/Residues: Per destination thresholds

Note: If you target consumer retail packs or baby-food channels, tell us early—microbiology and pesticide residue regimes can be stricter and must be written into the contract and inspection scope.

Forms & Value-Added Options

• Whole brown flaxseed (primary)
• Golden flaxseed (limited, on request)
• Cracked or roasted (by arrangement)
• Cold-milled/ground flax (nitrogen-flushed; limited corridors)
• Flaxseed meal/cake (after pressing) for animal feed

Packaging Options

• 25 kg or 50 kg PP bags (food-grade liners available)
• 1 MT jumbo bags (liner-grade on request)
• Container bulk with liners (cost-efficient for crushers)
• Retail-ready consumer packs via co-pack partners (project basis)

HS Code (reference): 1204 (Linseed, whether or not broken)

Quality Assurance You Can Audit

Independent Inspection (by agreement):

We appoint SGS, Bureau Veritas, or agreed surveyor for weight/quality at load port (or destination), including moisture, admixture, infestation, and—if contracted—oil content, micro, and residue panels. Certificates form part of the document set.

COA & Traceability:

Lot-level records from aggregation through loading are maintained. Certificates of Analysis align to the SPA (methods and tolerances defined up front).

Food Safety & Compliance:

We coordinate Phytosanitary Certificates, Fumigation Certificates (if required), and destination-specific declarations (non-GMO, allergen statements, allergen controls). For food-grade programs, we can scope microbiology (TPC, yeast/mold, Salmonella/Pathogens) and pesticide residues as required by your market.

Moisture Control & Storage:

Strict moisture targets and pre-shipment checks reduce transit risk (caking, rancidity, infestation). For ground/flour formats, we recommend nitrogen-flushed packs and cool chain where feasible.

Logistics: Corridors, Incoterms & Ports We Serve

Incoterms®: EXW / FCA / CPT / CIP / DAP / DDP (regional trucking/rail); FOB / CFR / CIF (sea shipments, containers or bulk where applicable).

Incoterms®: EXW / FCA / CPT / CIP / DAP / DDP (regional trucking/rail); FOB / CFR / CIF (sea shipments, containers or bulk where applicable).

Common discharge ports (availability varies by season/volume/compliance):

• GCC: Jebel Ali (UAE), Sohar (Oman), Dammam/Jubail (KSA)
• South Asia: Karachi (Pakistan), Nhava Sheva/Mundra (India), Chittagong (Bangladesh)
• East Africa: Mombasa (Kenya), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania)
• Europe: port of Rotterdam, Germany , Italy.

Transit Optimization:

We compare carrier schedules, feeder connections, and port conditions. For larger programs, we stagger containers to de-risk congestion and keep inventory flowing.

Documentation & Compliance (Smooth Customs Clearance)

We provide a clean, complete document pack for efficient clearance:

• Commercial Invoice & Packing List
• Bill of Lading (sea) / CMR (road) / Rail waybill (as relevant)
• Certificate of Origin
• Phytosanitary Certificate
• Fumigation Certificate (when applicable)
• Third-party Quality & Weight Certificates (if contracted)
• Non-GMO/Allergen/Residue statements as required by destination
• Halal or other attestations (project basis)

Our team tracks destination SPS and labeling rules so you avoid avoidable delays and charges.

MOQs, Lead Times & Payment Terms

Indicative MOQs

• Containerized programs: from 200–500 MT total (multi-container)
• Larger programs: structure monthly calls or quarterly windows

Lead times

• Containers: Typically 2–5 weeks from SPA effectiveness to first shipment (subject to space, inspection scope, and document prep).

• Value-added formats (ground/roasted/retail packs) require additional lead time.

Payment terms (subject to KYC/compliance):

• LC at sight (top-tier banks)

• SBLC/DLC for structured supply programs

• T/T (e.g., advance + CAD against originals) for repeat/smaller programs

Share your preferred banking terms (LC text, confirmation needs, presentation period) with the RFQ to speed up quoting.

Price Drivers (And How We Help You Manage Them)

1) Origin harvest & global oilseed complex

Flaxseed prices track harvest outcomes and trends in the broader oilseed basket (soy, rapeseed, sunflower), plus crude and freight impacts.

2) Freight markets

Container rates, feeder schedules, and seasonal surcharges influence landed cost and delivery windows.

3) Currency & policy

KZT/USD, destination FX, import duties, and SPS/labeling changes can affect feasibility and timing.

Our mitigation approach:

1. Offer grade/format options (food vs. oilseed) to meet budget and performance goals.
2. Stagger purchases across a pricing window to reduce timing risk.
3. Maintain route alternates when certain ports congest.
4. Keep document pre-checks tight to avoid re-issuance and corrections.

Use Cases & Buyer Profiles We Serve

Food manufacturers & packers: Whole flaxseed for bakery, cereals, granola, snack mixes; project-based consumer packs.

Oil pressers (cold-press/expeller): Oilseed-grade flax with defined oil content and FFA/POV limits where required; flaxseed meal as a co-product for feed.

Feed producers & integrators: Whole flax or flaxseed meal to enrich omega-3 content in rations (species-specific formulas).

Traders/distributors: Regional distribution with a reliable Kazakhstan flaxseed supplier and flexible shipping windows.

Shelf Life & Handling (Best Practice)

• Whole seeds: Store cool, dry, and dark; typically up to 12 months in sealed bags under good warehouse conditions.
• Ground/milled: More sensitive to oxidation—prefer nitrogen-flushed, light-barrier packaging; rotate stock within 3–6 months depending on storage.
• Oil pressing: Keep intake moisture ≤ 8–9% to protect oil quality and reduce FFA rise during storage.

(Shelf life depends on packaging and storage conditions; we’ll align handling notes in the SPA.)
