Kaffir Lime is citrus fruit very similiar to lime, but it is small sized and has a uniquely rough, bumpy green exterior
Unlike a regular lime tree, its leaf actually resembles two connected leaves. The leaves have a very strong, characteristic fragrance that cannot easily be substituted by other spices or even from oils extracted from other plants in the same family.
Indonesian kaffir lime is primarily procured from the East Java Region. However, the plant grows in several other tropical location such Madagaskar, Thailand and a few other Southeast Asian Countries

The export quantities lie in the range of 2 to 3 Metric Tons, and tend to remain stable with little or no fluctuation in quantities or prices.
