Quotes for "psyllium husk" can differ by 3x and every one of them can be technically correct. The grade ladder, whiteness sorting, mesh, and what the price includes (ex-factory versus FOB versus landed) drive most of the spread. This page, published by RM Psyllium LLP, a mill in Siddhpur, Gujarat, gives indicative ex-factory prices in US dollars per kg, observed from our own operations in the Gujarat and Rajasthan belt that processes most of the world's psyllium, and shows you how to read any quote you receive. It covers husk, husk powder by mesh, and flavoured powder. It is updated monthly; the ranges below reflect 1 August 2026, converted from mill-gate rupees at approximately ₹95 per US dollar on that date.
Two ground rules. First, these are indicative market ranges, not RM Psyllium LLP quotes. Your actual price depends on grade, mesh, packing, volume, documentation, and crop conditions at order time, so send your spec for anything firm. Second, all prices are ex-factory, packed in standard 25 kg bags (flavoured powder is loose fill). Ex-factory India is the start of your cost, not the end: a US or EU buyer budgets freight, insurance, clearance, testing, and inland delivery on top, covered below. Buyers sourcing for the Indian domestic market are quoted in rupees; contact us for current INR ex-factory pricing.

What is the domestic INR price of psyllium in India?
RM Psyllium LLP quotes domestic Indian supply in rupees per kg ex-factory, separately from the export USD ranges on this page, because export and domestic supply carry different cost bases. Rather than publish a rupee figure that goes stale with the crop and currency, we quote INR pricing directly against your grade, mesh, packing, and volume. Indian buyers can contact us on WhatsApp or email for a current INR ex-factory quote.
Why do psyllium husk quotes vary so much between suppliers?
Because "psyllium husk" is not one product. Purity (70 to 99%), color grade (regular vs super white), mesh, packing, crop year, and what the price includes (ex-factory vs FOB vs delivered) all differ. Always compare quotes at the same purity, color, mesh, and Incoterm, otherwise the cheaper quote is usually a different, lesser product.
What is the difference between regular white and super white psyllium husk?
At the same purity percentage, super-white husk has been optically sorted to a visibly whiter, cleaner appearance, which requires better raw seed and tighter sorting with more rejects. It commands a premium: at 99% purity the ex-factory gap between average and super-white premium material runs roughly $0.50–0.80/kg as of 1 August 2026, and premium supplement brands pay it because customers see the product in the jar.
How much does a 20-ton container of psyllium husk cost?
At the 1 August 2026 indicative ex-factory range, 20 MT of 95% husk is roughly $96,000–104,000 before inland freight, ocean freight, insurance, clearance, and testing. Landed cost in the US typically adds meaningfully on top, so budget with your freight forwarder and customs broker before committing to a purchase order.
Do these prices include shipping?
No. These are ex-factory (mill-gate) ranges in 25 kg bags. FOB pricing adds inland freight and port handling; a delivered or landed price adds ocean freight, insurance, clearance, applicable duties, and destination delivery. When comparing supplier quotes, always confirm the Incoterm first.
When during the year are psyllium prices lowest?
Supply pressure is usually greatest during and just after harvest arrivals (roughly February through May), which is often the softer window, while prices tend to firm as stocks draw down later in the year. But crop shocks, harvest-time rain, export demand surges, and currency moves can override the seasonal pattern, so benchmark quarterly rather than assuming the calendar.
How do I get an actual quote instead of a range?
Send the specification that defines your price: purity grade, color preference, husk or powder (with mesh) or flavour, packing format, order volume, destination country, and required documents. A serious supplier returns a firm, dated quote against that spec, and RM Psyllium responds to specification-complete requests within 48 hours on WhatsApp or email.
Indicative ex-factory husk prices in USD (updated 1 August 2026)
As of 1 August 2026, psyllium husk trades ex-factory in India from about $2.2–2.4/kg for 70% grade up to $6.6–7.4/kg for 99% grades (average to super-white premium), with the widely used 95% grade around $4.8–5.2/kg. Prices are per kg, packed in 25 kg bags, and are indicative Siddhpur–Unjha belt ranges published by RM Psyllium LLP, not binding quotes.
Prices are ex-factory Gujarat (mill gate), in US dollars per kg, packed in standard 25 kg bags, converted from rupees at about ₹95 per US dollar on 1 August 2026. "Ex-factory" means packed at the mill, before inland freight, port handling, ocean freight, insurance, clearance, duties, or testing. Within a grade, quality tiers (regular white to super white, or regular to premium) trade at different points inside the range. The pattern to remember: purity sets the band, whiteness sets where you land inside it. Where does your spec sit?

| Psyllium husk 98% | $5.5–5.7 | Premium supplement; regular white to super white |
| Psyllium husk 99% | $6.6–7.4 | Pharma and premium nutraceutical; average to super-white premium |
Psyllium husk powder price per kg by grade and mesh
As of 1 August 2026, psyllium husk powder trades ex-factory in India from about $3.2–3.7/kg at 85% purity to $6.1–6.6/kg at 99% purity, per kg in 25 kg bags. Finer mesh sits at the top of each grade band because fine milling runs slower and needs more care. These are indicative RM Psyllium LLP ranges, not binding quotes.
Powder price tracks the husk grade it is milled from, plus a milling premium that grows with fineness. Coarse 40 mesh sits at the low end of each band; fine 100 mesh sits at the top, because finer milling means slower throughput and tighter handling. The pattern to remember: pick your purity for the label claim, then pick mesh for the process, and read the band accordingly. For a firm powder quote, tell RM Psyllium your purity, mesh, and packing on WhatsApp (+91 89498 17791) or email (export@rmpsyllium.com).
| Powder grade | Ex-factory USD/kg | Mesh span and typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Psyllium husk powder 85% | $3.2–3.7 | 40 to 100 mesh; bakery, coarse capsule fill |
| Psyllium husk powder 95% | $4.2–4.7 | 40 to 100 mesh; supplement and functional food |
| Psyllium husk powder 98% | $5.3–5.8 | 40 to 100 mesh; pharma capsule, drink mixes |
| Psyllium husk powder 99% | $6.1–6.6 | 40 to 100 mesh; premium nutraceutical, cosmetics |
Flavoured psyllium powder price per kg
As of 1 August 2026, flavoured psyllium powder trades ex-factory in India at about $7.2–7.5/kg for orange and $7.4–7.7/kg for lemon, pineapple, and strawberry, per kg loose fill in 25 kg bags, before any custom retail packaging. Custom flavours are built to the buyer's formulation. These are indicative RM Psyllium LLP ranges, not binding quotes.
Flavoured powder is psyllium husk powder blended to a taste profile for finished drink mixes and private-label supplements. Prices are loose fill, ex-factory, and exclude custom or retail packaging, which we quote separately once the pack format is set. Beyond the four house flavours below, we build custom flavours to your formulation, so the price moves with flavour load, sweetener system, and any actives you add. The pattern to remember: the table is the starting point for a standard house flavour; a bespoke formulation is quoted on its recipe. For a flavoured or custom-blend quote, send RM Psyllium your flavour, target profile, and volume on WhatsApp (+91 89498 17791) or email (export@rmpsyllium.com).
| Flavour | Ex-factory USD/kg | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Orange psyllium powder | $7.2–7.5 | Loose fill; custom retail packaging quoted separately |
| Lemon psyllium powder | $7.4–7.7 | Loose fill; custom retail packaging quoted separately |
| Pineapple psyllium powder | $7.4–7.7 | Loose fill; custom retail packaging quoted separately |
| Strawberry psyllium powder | $7.4–7.7 | Loose fill; custom retail packaging quoted separately |
| Custom flavour | Quoted on formulation | Built to your taste profile, sweetener system, and actives |
Why the same "psyllium husk" spans a 3x price range
Psyllium husk prices span roughly 3x from 70% to 99% grade because higher purity means more cleaning and sorting passes, lower usable yield from the same seed, and stricter rejection rates, plus whiteness sorting on top of purity. Purity percentage and color grade together set the price, which is why quotes are meaningless without both.
The purity number (70 to 99%) is the share of pure husk versus residual seed and plant matter. Every extra point of purity costs disproportionately more: the mill runs additional cleaning, gravity separation, and sorting passes, loses more material as rejects, and accepts a lower yield from the same input seed. That is why 99% is not "a bit more" than 95%. It is a different economic product. On top of purity sits color: at identical 99% purity, super-white husk commands a meaningful premium over regular white because whiteness requires tighter optical sorting and better raw seed, and premium supplement brands pay for the visual quality their customers see in the jar. The practical takeaway: never compare quotes on price alone. Confirm purity, color grade, and mesh together, or you are comparing different products.
Husk vs powder vs flavoured: how prices relate
Psyllium seed is the raw input; sortex-cleaned seed trades far below husk because husk is only a fraction of seed weight after milling. Husk powder prices track the husk grade it is milled from, plus a milling and handling premium that grows with fineness, since finer mesh means slower throughput and more care. Flavoured powder sits above plain powder because it adds a blending step, flavour and sweetener inputs, and tighter quality control on taste and dispersion. If a "psyllium powder" quote looks dramatically cheaper than husk of the same claimed grade, ask what it was milled from, because a low price usually means a lower-purity input, not a discount.
Ex-factory vs FOB vs landed: what your real cost is
Ex-factory is the mill-gate price; FOB (typically Mundra port) adds inland freight and port handling; landed cost in the US or EU adds ocean freight, insurance, customs clearance, any applicable duties, FDA entry compliance, testing, and delivery. Cheap ex-factory quotes can become expensive landed kilos, so compare suppliers on landed cost per approved kilo, not the mill-gate number.
A US buyer's realistic cost stack starts at the ex-factory price, then adds inland freight to port and handling to reach FOB, then ocean freight and insurance, then destination port and clearance charges, plus any applicable duty for your product classification (confirm current tariff treatment with your customs broker), then drayage and delivery, then your own verification testing. Two suppliers $0.30/kg apart ex-factory can invert on landed cost once packing quality (torn bags mean rejected pallets), documentation speed (demurrage from slow paperwork), and re-test failures enter the math. And one failed FDA entry erases years of savings from a cheaper quote. This is why experienced procurement teams score suppliers on landed cost per approved kilo.
What moves psyllium prices during the year
Psyllium is an annual crop with a rhythm: sowing across Gujarat and Rajasthan runs roughly November to December, harvest and market arrivals run February to April, and arrival volumes through spring set the tone for the year's prices. After arrivals, the market trades on carryover stock, export demand, and weather news for the next sowing. Prices typically feel the most supply pressure when arrivals peak and firm up as stocks draw down later in the year, though crop shocks, unseasonal rain at harvest, and demand surges (like the recent fiber-supplement wave) can override the pattern in either direction. Currency matters too: dollar-rupee movement changes the effective USD price for importers even when rupee prices are flat. If you buy meaningful volume, benchmark quarterly and time larger bookings against arrivals rather than buying reactively.
Red flags when a quote looks too good
Psyllium trades in a known band, so a quote far below the ranges above has a reason, and it is rarely generosity. The usual explanations: old-crop or poorly stored material (weaker swell, higher micro counts), a lower actual purity or color grade than claimed, a trader quoting before securing supply (your PO funds their sourcing gamble), or numbers designed to start a bait-and-switch after "testing" your commitment. Protection is simple: ask for a recent lot-specific COA from a named accredited lab, confirm purity, color, and mesh in writing, test a sample from the actual lot, and treat sub-market pricing as a due-diligence trigger rather than a win.
Domestic Indian buyers: INR ex-factory pricing on request
The USD ranges on this page are for export buyers. For domestic Indian supply, RM Psyllium LLP quotes psyllium husk, powder, and flavoured powder in Indian rupees per kg ex-factory, which differs from a straight conversion of the USD figures. Indian buyers should contact us on WhatsApp or email for current INR ex-factory pricing against their grade, mesh, and volume.
Export and domestic supply carry different cost bases, so the two are quoted separately. Rather than publish a rupee number that goes stale with the crop and the currency, we quote domestic INR pricing directly against your specification. Tell us the grade, mesh, packing, and volume, and we return a current INR ex-factory figure. Reach RM Psyllium on WhatsApp (+91 89498 17791) or email (export@rmpsyllium.com).
How this page is compiled and updated
Ranges reflect mill-gate market observations from RM Psyllium LLP's own operations in Siddhpur and trading levels in the surrounding Gujarat and Rajasthan processing belt, rounded to represent the market rather than any single quote. Within a grade, quality tiers (regular white to super white, or regular to premium) sit at different points inside the range, and finer powder mesh sits toward the top. US-dollar figures use the interbank USD/INR rate on the stated update date (about ₹95 per USD on 1 August 2026). We update this page monthly, changing the "updated" date when we do, and adjust commentary as the crop develops.
