Ekaa Global Connect began with one family's food and became an export house for it — makhana pulled from Bihar's ponds by hand, then graded, packed and shipped to importers on four continents.
We didn't start as exporters. We started as a family trying to buy food we could trust — and discovered that between the pond and the port, nobody could tell us where anything had come from.
It starts waist-deep in water. Families who have harvested fox nut for generations pull gorgon seed from the silt by hand — the same ponds, the same rhythm, every monsoon.
Our founder's mother was told to go back to the food of her home: makhana, millets, unadulterated grain. What healed one household became the question — why is this so hard to buy honestly abroad?
Ekaa buys where the crop grows, grades it in the open, and ships it in full containers under documentation an importer can actually audit. No middle layer, no mystery lots.
Bihar for makhana, Kerala for spice, Punjab for grain. Every lot has a district behind it.
Suta size, moisture, broken percentage — declared before the sample leaves, not after arrival.
Clean paperwork, honest ETAs, and a schedule that holds through the season.
Six steps, roughly six weeks. You get photographs and paperwork at each one.
Seed pulled by hand from pond silt across Darbhanga and Madhubani.
Sun-dried, tempered and popped — the craft step that decides the grade.
Sorted into 4, 5 and 6 Suta by size, whiteness and broken percentage.
Moisture, aflatoxin and pesticide residue against destination limits.
Nitrogen-flushed pouches or bulk cartons, private label if you need it.
Full container from Mundra or Nhava Sheva on FOB, CIF, EXW or DDP.
"Consistent quality, transparent documentation and container schedules that hold. Ekaa runs like a European exporter with Indian roots."
