Who are the top biscuit exporters in India?

KROWN Biscuits

Based in Delhi and baking since 1981, KROWN runs production units in Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana and exports to more than 30 countries. The range covers cream biscuits such as Black Magic, Miss Marie, cookies and gift tins, Wafills and Creme Tango wafers, chocolate treats and rusk. KROWN also manufactures for other Indian and multinational FMCG companies and produces private-label ranges for importers.

Britannia Industries

Founded in 1892 and based in Kolkata, Britannia is one of India's oldest and largest food companies. Brands include Good Day, Marie Gold, NutriChoice and Bourbon, and its products are sold in many countries.

Parle Products

The Mumbai-based maker of Parle-G, Monaco, Krackjack and Hide & Seek. Parle-G is one of the most recognised biscuit brands in the world, and Parle's products are widely available in Indian and international stores abroad.

ITC Foods (Sunfeast)

ITC's Sunfeast range includes Dark Fantasy, Marie Light and Bounce. ITC is a large diversified group with a growing international food business.

Should you import a big brand or private label?

The largest Indian brands are excellent if you want a name shoppers already know. But they often sell abroad through set distributor networks, with limited room on price, pack size or exclusivity. Mid-sized manufacturers tend to be more flexible: smaller minimum orders, custom packs, market-specific recipes and private label under your own brand.

Many importers end up doing both: a few famous brands to pull shoppers in, and a private-label or second-brand range that earns the margin.

How do you compare Indian biscuit exporters?

• Manufacturer or trader. Buying direct from the factory gives you more control over quality and cost.
• Certifications. ISO 22000 or HACCP, FSSAI and Halal where needed. Ask for copies and check the dates.
• Capacity. Can they supply your second, fifth and twentieth container on time?
• Market experience. Have they shipped to your country and supported product registration there?
• Flexibility. Mixed containers, custom pack sizes, your language on the label.
• Shelf life and packing suited to long transit and hot warehouses.
• Responsiveness. How fast and clearly do they answer before you've placed an order?

ISO 22000 or HACCP food-safety certification, an FSSAI licence and, for the Gulf and many African markets, halal certification.
