About Guar Seeds
Guar seeds (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba, locally 'guar' or 'cluster bean') produce guar gum — a versatile food and industrial hydrocolloid used as a thickener, binder, and viscosifier. The largest single demand driver is hydraulic fracturing in the oil and gas industry (USA, Canada), followed by food industry applications (ice cream, salad dressings, gluten-free baking, beverages), and cosmetics/personal care.
Pakistan is the world's second-largest guar producer after India, supplying approximately 150,000 MT of raw guar seeds annually to international guar gum manufacturers. Kohenoor International exports premium Pakistani guar with 28-32% galactomannan content to industrial buyers and guar gum processors in the USA, EU, China, Russia, Norway, and Saudi Arabia.
