Allium cepa
Nashik red is the export standard for Indian onion — firm, deep red, and it holds up on a three-week sea voyage when cured properly. Curing is where most onion claims originate, so lots are field-cured and shade-dried before grading rather than packed straight off the plot.
Ventilated containers, mesh bags and pallet loading are all standard. Export availability follows Government of India policy, which we confirm before contracting.
