Onion

The primary harvest (Rabi crop) peaks between March and May, offering the best export quality. During this window, we source directly from the Nashik belt to ensure maximum freshness. This seasonality is critical for maintaining the pungency and skin quality our global buyers demand. We monitor harvest updates daily to ensure our buyers get the best produce at competitive prices.

We use specialized mesh bags that allow optimal airflow, preventing the humidity buildup that leads to onion decay. For long-haul shipments to the UK or USA, we exclusively utilize refrigerated containers (reefers) calibrated to precise temperatures. Each shipment undergoes a pre-loading inspection to ensure zero moisture content. This rigorous protocol has maintained our zero-rejection record across 50+ shipments.

Yes, all our onions undergo rigorous residue testing at NABL-accredited labs before departure. We ensure that pesticide levels strictly adhere to EU FSA and US FDA standards. Every shipment is accompanied by a COA that guarantees the safety and quality of the produce. We never export anything that does not meet the strictest international health mandates.

Yes, we specialize in precise grading based on millimeter requirements, such as 45-60mm for retail or jumbo sizes for large-scale catering.

Our documentation team ensures that the Let Export Order (LEO) and all phytosanitary documents are filed well in advance. We maintain constant communication with shipping lines to track vessel status. If a delay occurs, our management team personally intervenes to resolve customs bottlenecks.
