Dill Suppliers - Wholesale & Bulk

Nutrada lists GFSI-certified dill suppliers from Poland, Hungary, and Egypt, filterable by certification, form, and MOQ.

Dill Types and Forms

The distinction between dill seed and dill weed drives procurement decisions as these are separate products with different supplier qualifications and processing requirements.

Moisture content must not exceed 10-12% across all forms. The volatile oil compounds carvone (seeds) and dillapeole (weed) determine aroma intensity and require verification on each batch certificate.

Dill Origin and Supply

Poland and Hungary dominate EU dill supply with established freeze-drying infrastructure for high-quality dill weed processing, while their seed production targets the industrial pickling market. Egypt provides counter-seasonal supply through winter cultivation (November–March), complementing European harvest timing and offering both seed and dried herb forms. Germany and northern European countries produce dill for domestic markets. India exports primarily dill seeds from Rajasthan and Gujarat alongside other seed spices during March–April harvest, creating co-sourcing opportunities for spice blend manufacturers. Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 regulates dill oil (carvone) as a flavouring substance in processed foods.

Bulk Dill

Dill weed loses volatile oils rapidly when exposed to light and air, requiring nitrogen-flushed packaging or vacuum-sealed bags for flavour preservation. Standard packaging includes 5-25 kg food-grade bags with moisture barriers. Storage below 15 degrees Celsius at under 65% relative humidity maintains quality for 18-24 months, though freeze-dried dill weed retains superior aroma compared to air-dried alternatives. Buyers must verify the drying method with suppliers as freeze-drying costs more but provides better flavour retention for end applications.

Organic Dill

EU Organic certification is available from Polish and Hungarian suppliers for both dill seeds and weed. Egyptian organic dill requires dual EU-USDA certification verification as supply depth varies seasonally. USDA NOP certified dill seeds from Indian suppliers focus primarily on export markets with established organic farming infrastructure in Rajasthan.

Dill Private Label

Consumer packaging formats include 15-50g glass jars, resealable pouches, and spice shakers for retail herb sections. Dill pickle seasoning blends in 100-250g pouches target home pickling markets. MOQs for private label start higher than bulk orders due to packaging line changeovers. Buyers must specify whether the end product requires freeze-dried dill weed for specialised applications or standard air-dried material for economy lines before production begins.

Dill Manufacturers

European dill manufacturers concentrate in Poland and Hungary with specialized freeze-drying facilities, while Egyptian processors focus on conventional drying methods for cost-sensitive applications. Request batch-specific certificates of analysis covering volatile oil content, moisture levels, and full EU pesticide panel results per lot. Cumin suppliers often process dill seeds using similar equipment for seed spice applications.
