Shipment window
Grains of paradise pods are harvested by hand from wild or semi-wild reedlike plants once ripe, then the pod is split and the seed dried before sale; arrival windows at destination follow shortly after origin drying and export clearance since the dried seed is shelf-stable and not held back for a separate curing season.
| Harvest | Oct to Dec |
|---|---|
| Arrival at destination | Jan to Feb |
Eastern Region wild-harvest window estimated from the general West African Aframomum melegueta fruiting pattern (main harvest around the October-December dry-season onset); must-verify against the specific season's crop timing with a named supplier before quoting.
