The heat that fuels trade
From fiery curries in South Asia to smoky sauces in Europe, red chilies are a universal flavor booster — and Pakistan is one of the world’s emerging suppliers of high-quality chili varieties. Known for their vibrant color, distinct heat profile, and natural pungency, Pakistani chilies are gaining recognition among bulk spice buyers, food processors, and condiment manufacturers.
Major chili-producing regions such as Kunri in Sindh and Multan in Punjab deliver a range of varieties including Dandi Cut, Ghotki, and Byadgi-type chilies. Shah Mercantile Co. connects global spice traders with fresh, sun-dried, and processed red chilies from these fertile belts.
Global demand drivers
- Natural color and heat make Pakistani chilies attractive for seasoning blends
- Rising popularity of spicy cuisines in North America and Europe
- Food processing industry growth in sauces, pickles, and ready-to-eat meals
- Demand for pesticide-free and organically grown chilies
With increased global preference for authentic, bold flavors, high-Scoville Pakistani chilies are competing strongly against Indian and Chinese varieties.
