Product grades
The processing facilities in Vietnam, India and the Netherlands are capable of turning out a wide variety of
different grades of whole, ground, cracked, sliced and kibbled products to customer specification. On an
average Nedspice supplies well over 150 different grades and types. To ensure that our finished products are
free of foreign material all products processed by Nedspice are cleaned and graded by using various types of
cleaning equipment such as de-stoners, aspirators, spirals, magnets, sieves. In addition our plants are equipped
with Ventilex and Revtech built steam sterilization equipment with an aggregate capacity of up to 5 tons per
hour. This is complemented by a number of different types of mills, including cryogenic, blending and metal
detection equipment, which all together facilitates a combined processing capacity of around 24,000 tons of
homogenized finished products.
Typical grades that can be produced are:
150 to 600 micron (60-34 mesh),
Fine grind:
Coarse ground: 600 to 1000 micron (30-18 mesh),

Nedspice-Farmers Partnership Programme
Nedspice believes that backward integration and sustainability are the main challenges for the food industry in
the years ahead. In the spice sector many, often aging, smallholder farmers move to high intensive crops. Not
only does this affect the scarcity of spices, it also has negative effects on the environment.
To ensure that spice farming remains financially attractive and offers a sustainable livelihood for farmers
Nedspice has the ambition to develop backward integration programmes for farmers in Vietnam and India and
other countries we work in. This ambition is laid down in the Nedspice-Farmers Partnership Programme which
defines the approach, key principles as well as the expected results. Current projects include sustainable cumin
and turmeric farming in India and sustainable pepper farming in Vietnam, for which we obtained certification.
