TirhutWala: Solutions for Export Buyers
Reliable Makhana Supply from Bihar’s Largest Manufacturer & Exporter
Bulk | Consistent | Export-Ready | Value-Added
📍 TirhutWala-Built for Global Importers, Not One-Time Shipments
Global demand for Makhana (Fox Nuts) is surging, yet the industry remains plagued by a "broken supply chain."
While Bihar produces 85% of the world’s Makhana, However, most importers face recurring issues when sourcing from India:
-
Quality variation across shipments
-
Unreliable supplier commitments
-
Fragmented sourcing dependent on intermediaries
-
Non-standardized processing
-
Delays due to documentation or compliance gaps
TirhutWala was founded to bridge this gap. As Bihar’s largest organized manufacturer and exporter, we don't just trade Makhana we own the process from the pond to the container.
How TirhutWala Exports Makhana
(Our Process)
In a market dominated by traders, TirhutWala stands apart as a fully vertically integrated manufacturer. We understand that for an international buyer, consistency and reliability are non-negotiable.
🌱 1. Ownership of the Source: TirhutWala’s Own Makhana Ponds
Unlike other exporters who buy from open markets where quality varies, TirhutWala owns and manages its own Makhana Ponds.
-
Controlled Environment: By managing the ponds, we ensure that no harmful chemicals or pollutants enter the water, resulting in a cleaner, safer seed.
-
Harvest Mastery: We control the timing of the harvest to ensure the seeds are at their peak nutritional density.
This allows us to:
-
Plan volumes in advance
-
Reduce seasonal supply shocks
-
Commit to long-term export contracts
Every export program is aligned with forecasted demand, not spot-market availability.
2. Empowering the Roots: 1000+ Farmer Network
Our strength lies in our community. We work directly with over 1000+ farmers across Bihar, moving beyond a vendor-buyer relationship to a partnership model.
-
Direct Procurement Centers: We have established hubs in key regions to buy directly from farmers, ensuring they receive fair prices and we receive premium quality.
-
Capacity Building: We provide these farmers with modern tools and training in sustainable cultivation, ensuring the volume we promise to you is always available.
-
Ethical Sourcing: Importers can proudly claim their products are ethically sourced, supporting the livelihoods of traditional farming communities.
3. Advanced Industrial Processing & Value Addition
Makhana is a delicate superfood; its porous nature makes it highly sensitive to humidity, temperature, and handling. At TirhutWala, we have transitioned from traditional, inconsistent manual processing to a semi-automated industrial ecosystem. This ensures that whether you are buying raw seeds for your factory or flavoured snacks for your retail chain, the quality remains identical across every container.
A. Raw Makhana: The Foundation of Quality
For B2B clients and ingredient buyers, the "Technical Specification" of the Raw Makhana is paramount. We focus on three critical pillars:
-
Four-Stage Precision Grading: We utilize a mechanized sieving system that categorizes Makhana into precise diameters (e.g., 15mm+, 18mm+, 20mm+, and 22mm+ Premium Jumbo). Uniformity in size is not just aesthetic—it ensures even roasting and consistent density for your own production lines.
-
Active Moisture Stabilization: Traditional sun-drying is unpredictable. We use industrial dehumidifying units to stabilize moisture levels at a strict <5%. This prevents the "chewy" texture often found in lower-grade exports and ensures a "crisp-to-the-core" experience even after 12 months of global transit.
-
Advanced Cleaning & De-shelling: We eliminate the "black bits" (residual seed coats) through a multi-step cleaning process involving air-aspiration and gravity separators, providing a high-purity product that is ready for immediate processing or packaging.
B. Flavoured Makhana: Gourmet Processing & Nutrient Retention
When creating value-added snacks, our goal is to maintain the "Superfood" status. Our processing line is designed to deliver flavor without compromising health:
-
Slow-Flame Dry Roasting: Unlike many manufacturers who deep-fry to achieve crunch, TirhutWala uses a slow-roasting technique. This preserves the heat-sensitive proteins and minerals while ensuring the kernel is perfectly brittle.
-
Precision Tumble Coating: To ensure every single nut has an even distribution of seasoning, we use automated tumble-coating technology. This ensures 100% surface coverage without the use of excessive oils or fats, which are typically used as "glues" in manual seasoning.
-
Global Palette Customization: Our R&D lab develops seasonings that are stable for long-haul shipping. From Himalayan Pink Salt for the US market to Spicy Zatar for the Middle East, we ensure the flavor profile remains vibrant and the aroma is locked in.
-
Nitrogen-Flush Packaging: To prevent the oxidation of seasonings and oils, all retail-ready flavoured Makhana is packaged with Nitrogen flushing. This displaces oxygen, preventing rancidity and keeping the product as fresh as the day it was roasted in Bihar.
C. Hygiene & Export Standardization
-
Every square inch of our facility is built to meet international food safety audits:
-
HACCP-Compliant Workflows: Our factory is zoned to prevent cross-contamination between raw and flavoured sections.
-
Magnet & Metal Detection: Every batch passes through high-sensitivity industrial metal detectors and magnetic traps to ensure zero physical contaminants.
-
Batch Coding: Every pallet is assigned a unique batch ID linked to our 1000+ Farmer Network, ensuring total accountability from the pond to your warehouse.
