Buyer questions
- What is a typical export lot size for Nashik onion?
- Sea lots commonly move in 20–28 MT container equivalents. Domestic stockist lots are often 10–20 MT. Ask for the current bag weight and grade before locking a price.
- Which port do onion lots usually sail from?
- Mundra and JNPT are the usual sea gateways for long-shelf-life onion. Kandla is used when the buyer wants a lower-cost bulk option.
- Do you ship onion by air?
- No. Onion is a sea / truck commodity. Air is not economical and is not offered as a standard lane.
