Top 10 Agricultural Export Commodities for International Buyers
UPL Global Holdings supplies a diverse portfolio of export-grade agricultural commodities. For international buyers looking to source from tropical growing regions, here are the top 10 agricultural exports globally — with buyer insights for each.
1. Sisal Fibre
Sisal fibre is one of the most in-demand natural fibres globally. Equatorial climates support year-round harvesting of Agave sisalana, producing 3L, UG, SSUG, and TOW grade fibre. Key export destinations: China, Europe, Brazil, and the Middle East. Sisal fibre wholesale prices range from USD 600–1,400/MT depending on grade.

2. Arabica Coffee
Our AA arabica coffee is among the world's most prized speciality beans. Grown above 1,500 m on volcanic soils, these beans offer bright acidity and complex blackcurrant-wine flavour notes. Annual export volume: approximately 40,000 metric tonnes.
3. Cashew Nuts
Cashew nuts are a high-value export. We supply both raw cashew nuts (RCN) and processed kernels graded W180, W240, W320, and splits. Growing demand from snack manufacturers in Europe and Asia drives steady price increases.
4. Black Pepper & Spices
The spice sector is expanding rapidly. Black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves — all grown in our partner regions — are exported to spice traders and food manufacturers worldwide. Our black pepper is prized for its bold, earthy heat.
5. Sisal Rope & Manufactured Goods
Value-added sisal products — rope, twine, yarn, carpet, and polishing cloth — account for a growing share of sisal trade. Manufacturing locally adds 40–60% to the product's value compared to raw fibre export.
6. Pulses (Kidney Beans, Chickpeas)
Our sourcing regions produce large volumes of red kidney beans, black beans, and chickpeas for export. These protein-rich legumes are in high demand from food processors, canning companies, and food aid programmes.

8. White Sugar (Re-export)
ICUMSA 45 white sugar is sourced from Brazil, India, and Thailand. Our global logistics network makes us an efficient supplier of quality-certified sugar to buyers worldwide.
9. Maize / Corn
While primarily consumed domestically, surplus maize production in good rainfall years enters the export market. Yellow and white maize are shipped to neighbouring countries and food aid buyers.
10. Livestock (Boer Goats)
Our partner farms produce high-quality Boer goats prized for rapid weight gain and meat quality. Live animal exports serve Middle Eastern and Gulf State markets with growing demand for halal-certified livestock.
