Hi, I am looking for a farmer of pimento seeds who would be prepared to ship to UK
ANSWER: by Wellesley Gayle Hi Jim!
Thanks so much for reaching out with your question!
I think I understand what youโre looking for. Of course, you know that Jamaica is famous for its pimento (or as some persons call it, allspice), so itโs wonderful that youโre trying to source it directly from here!
Now, finding a local farmer who is set up to ship internationally, especially seeds, can be a little tricky. Not all farmers here are equipped or certified to export agricultural goods, because seeds โ especially, usually require special permits and phytosanitary certificates to meet UK import regulations.
If you are looking large scale, your best bet would be to connect with either an established agricultural exporter here in Jamaica who works with small farmers, or a certified seed supplier that already handles overseas orders.
Another option is to check with companies in Jamaica that specialize in Jamaican herbs and spices exports โ some of them can source the seeds for you legally and make sure all the paperwork is properly handled so you donโt run into customs issues.
By the way, we currently sell pimento in non-commercial amounts via our family's estore. You can find the link
here (grounded) or
here (whole).
I'm also posting this question so if someone is reading and interested they can contact you via the

And rest assured, you need any additional info, just let me know.
Really appreciate you reaching out, and Iโm wishing you every success with this project!
