G9 Cavendish Banana — Reefer Exports from India
India is the world’s largest banana producer, and the Grand Naine (G9) Cavendish variety is the backbone of its fast-growing export trade. Aarvoyage Global Exim exports G9 banana harvested at hard-green stage, processed and packed to international carton standards, and shipped in reefer containers to the Gulf and Middle East.
Bunches are de-handed, washed, treated and packed as 4–6 hands per 13.5 kg carton with poly lining. Fruit travels at 13–14°C, arriving green for controlled ripening at destination — the standard the Iran, Iraq and Gulf markets buy against.
A 40 ft reefer holds approximately 20 MT (1,540 cartons), which is our minimum order. We schedule cutting against vessel dates so transit time is used, not wasted, and every shipment carries phytosanitary certification and certificate of origin.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what stage are export bananas harvested?
G9 bananas are cut at hard-green maturity (typically 75–80%), so fruit withstands reefer transit and ripens under controlled conditions at the destination market.
What are the carton specifications for banana export?
Standard export cartons hold 13–13.5 kg net, packed as 4–6 hands with poly lining. A 40 ft reefer container carries approximately 1,540 cartons (about 20 MT).
What temperature is maintained during banana shipment?
Reefer containers run at 13–14°C with controlled ventilation, giving 30–40 days of transit and storage life — sufficient for all Gulf and Middle East routes.
