Why Arbor & Isle
Built differently from a traditional trading house
Six things buyers consistently tell us they don't get from larger commodity traders.
Lot-level QR traceability
Every consignment carries a QR code linking buyers to the originating Karnataka farm cluster, harvest date and lab report.
Direct from Karnataka growers
We work with grower clusters across Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu — no layers of intermediaries between field and container.
One contact, start to finish
No rotating account managers. Your enquiry, sample and shipment are handled by the same founder-led team from first message to delivery.
Flexible order sizes
LCL sample lots to full FCL container loads, with private-label and custom-blend packaging for boutique and specialty buyers.
Documentation-ready
Phytosanitary, certificate of origin and lab reports prepared for FSSAI, Spices Board, Coffee Board, IEC and US FDA — EU, GCC and US market clearance-ready.
Export-focused from day one
Not a side-line to a domestic trading business. Every process — from grading to packing — is designed exclusively around export quality.
Our promise
Try before you commit.
We ship sample lots to verified buyers before any container discussion. Quality speaks louder than promises.
Response time
Within one business day.
Every enquiry answered by the founder. No sales funnel, no ticketing system. Just a direct conversation.

About Us
A focused export house, built around transparency.
Arbor & Isle Exports is a Bengaluru-based export house dealing exclusively in conventional spices and coffee from Karnataka and South India — a smaller, faster and more transparent alternative to large commodity trading houses.
Our story
Why we started Arbor & Isle
Karnataka — and South India broadly — has long been the source of the world's finest spices and coffee. Yet much of what reaches international buyers passes through several layers of consolidators and traders. By the time it ships, the connection to the farm and the quality testing is often lost.
Arbor & Isle Exports was built to close that gap. We work directly with grower clusters, grade and test to export specification, and assign every consignment a lot number and QR code so buyers can see exactly where their order came from.
What we do
Spices & coffee, end to end
Our catalogue covers turmeric, black pepper and green cardamom alongside Arabica and Robusta coffee from Karnataka. For each, we manage sourcing, cleaning and grading, quality testing, export packing, and the full set of shipping documentation for EU and GCC clearance.
We also support private-label packaging and custom grade blends for boutique and specialty buyers.
