Since the lanes of Patan Road, Unjha
The Story of સાસુમા
Unjha is not merely a town on Gujarat's Mehsana map — it is the price-setting heart of the world's jeera and variali trade. The APMC yard here clears several lakh bags a season, and every serious buyer from Rajkot to Rotterdam watches its morning rates. Shasuma Spices operates from inside that current, minutes from the auction rings on Patan Road.
The commission agent — the adatiya — is Indian agriculture's oldest guarantee. A farmer sells because his agent vouches for the buyer; a buyer pays because his agent vouches for the grain. We hold that trust as sacred capital. Our selection process begins before dawn on the mandi floor: cupping seeds to release volatile oils, splitting dhaniya to read internal color, running moisture meters across random gunny pulls.
What survives selection is machine-cleaned, sorted by bold size and daylight hue, then re-verified against your specification sheet — purity percentages, moisture ceilings, thymol floors, packaging formats. We do not sell spice. We sell the certainty that the spice named on the slip is the spice inside the bag.
“A broker's capital is not the seed — it is the slip. If the slip lies once, the mandi never forgets it.”
Trust is the trade
How a Lot Becomes a Shasuma Lot
Our buyers stand on the Unjha yard at first trading bell. Lots are crush-tested for aroma, checked for seed boldness and rejected on the spot if freshness wavers.
Digital moisture meters read within 48 hours of dispatch. Volatile-oil and thymol benchmarks are verified before we commit a single bag to your name.
Consignments pass through de-stoners, gyratory graders and color sorters — segregated by hue, size and split percentages under daylight panels.
Every transaction closes with a written brokerage slip: mandi rate, grade, moisture, loading and our commission — visible line by line. No shadows.
Your specification sheet becomes our checklist. Purity %, moisture %, packaging format, documentation — held to the letter, photographed and reported.
What We Guard
We broker only what survives our own cupped-palm test — nose, texture and sight. Anything less never leaves the yard under the Shasuma name.
Commission is declared, never embedded. You see the mandi rate we see, plus our fixed brokerage — the ancestral way of the commission agent.
From yard gunny to your loading dock: secured godowns, breathable liners, tracked trucks and photo-verified stuffing on export containers.
