Fresh Onion, Pomegranate, G9 Banana & Chilli, from Indian Farms to Your Port

Fresh red onion, white onion and Bangalore Rose onion, Bhagwa pomegranate, G9 Cavendish banana and fresh green chilli, alongside dry red chilli in the Teja S17, Byadgi, Guntur Sannam S4, Kashmiri, S10, Endofy and Syngenta 5531 varieties. We also supply 1121 basmati rice and Indian milling wheat, the latter subject to prevailing export policy.

It varies by product. Onion and banana ship as full container loads, approximately 28 and 20 metric tons respectively, because part loads are uneconomic for those products. Pomegranate and green chilli start at 3 metric tons, and dry chilli, rice and wheat at 5 metric tons. Smaller trial volumes by air can be discussed for fresh produce.

Principally the Gulf and Middle East, South and Southeast Asia. Onion moves to Bangladesh, Malaysia, the UAE and Sri Lanka; banana to Iran, Iraq and the Gulf; pomegranate to the UAE, Bangladesh and Europe; dry chilli to Bangladesh, China, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Tell us your destination port and we will confirm what is practical for that route.

Yes, and we would encourage it on a first order. Buyers routinely appoint SGS, Intertek or an equivalent agency at their own cost to inspect at the packhouse or at container stuffing. No supplier serving export markets should object to third party inspection.

Send us your destination port, product and grade, packing preference and quantity, and you should have a workable price the same day. For fresh produce, and onion in particular, quotations are short-dated because origin prices and Indian export policy both move. We confirm the position in force on the day you book rather than quoting a rate that may have lapsed.

Begin smaller than your programme needs, even where the unit economics are worse. Agree the specification in numbers before any payment, appoint an inspection agency at loading, and settle in advance how arrival condition will be assessed and by whom. The first order is worth treating as something that teaches you about the supplier rather than something that fills a season.
