Production & Sourcing

The production of guar gum starts with harvesting the beans from the guar plant, a leguminous crop. After separating the beans from the pods, they are dried and undergo dehusking to extract the endosperm. This endosperm is ground into a fine powder, further processed to obtain guar gum.

India leads as the largest producer and exporter of guar gum, contributing over 80% of global production. Pakistan and the United States are also significant producers. Guar gum cultivation extends to countries like Australia, Sudan, Europe, and South America.
