Fresh Red Onion — Container Loads from India
India is among the world’s largest onion exporters, and onion is the highest-volume product in our fresh vegetable range. We supply Nashik-quality fresh red onion as our mainstay, alongside white onion for fresh and processing markets and the small, pungent Bangalore Rose specified by buyers in Malaysia and Singapore. All are graded by size, packed for sea transit and shipped in full container loads.
Onions are cured, sorted and graded into standard export sizes — 40–45 mm, 45–55 mm and 55 mm+ — and packed in 5, 10 or 25 kg mesh bags for ventilation during transit. Ventilated or dry containers are used depending on destination and season, and every shipment is inspected before stuffing.
Because Indian onion export policy (duties and minimum export prices) changes with the domestic market, we quote live prices against current policy. Contact us with your destination port and size requirement for today’s rate.
