About This Company

A fruit export company sources, grades, and ships fresh fruit in bulk to international wholesale buyers, retail chains, and importers, managing everything from farm-gate procurement to phytosanitary clearance and container loading on the buyer's behalf. Based in Kolkata, our company draws on West Bengal's own strong horticulture belt (Malda's mango orchards, Murshidabad's litchi groves, and North Bengal's banana and pineapple regions) while also sourcing seasonal fruit like mango, cherry, and citrus from growing regions across India through an established procurement network. For global importers, working with a Kolkata-based exporter means consolidated bulk shipments moving through a single eastern Indian port with direct sea lanes to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and beyond, along with the phytosanitary, fumigation, and Certificate of Origin documentation customs authorities require for fresh produce.

Air Freight vs. Sea Freight: Matching the Mode to Your Order

When Air Freight Is the Right Call

Air freight suits highly perishable fruit with short shelf life, such as cherry and litchi, or any order where the buyer needs stock on shelf faster than sea transit allows. It costs more per kilo, so it's typically reserved for premium retail orders, hospitality supply, or fruit types that simply don't survive a multi-week sea voyage in sellable condition.

When Sea Freight Is the Better Economics

Sea freight in reefer containers is the standard mode for higher-shelf-life fruit like mango, banana, and coconut, and it's the only mode that makes sense economically at true bulk volumes. The tradeoff is transit time, so buyers ordering fruit with a genuinely short shelf life should confirm shipping mode before committing to sea transit rather than assuming it will hold quality across a 15-25 day voyage.

Why Source from Kolkata, West Bengal

Kolkata's advantage is a combination most single-crop exporters don't have: real horticultural strength in Malda mango and Murshidabad litchi sitting a few hours from the port itself, alongside rail and road connectivity to growing regions across the rest of India for fruit types the immediate region doesn't produce at export scale. The port at Kolkata and the deep-water facility at Haldia give direct sea access to the Bay of Bengal shipping lanes, and Kolkata's international airport supports air freight for the more perishable categories in the portfolio. For global importers, this means one point of contact and one export documentation process covering multiple fruit categories, rather than coordinating separately with growers and shippers across several Indian states.

Packaging and Trade Details

Packaging Options

Corrugated export cartons (5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg depending on fruit type) with ventilation for airflow during transit. Ventilated mesh bags for bulk coconut and similar produce. Insulated cartons with gel packs for premium air-freighted categories like cherry. Palletized loading for both reefer sea container and air cargo shipment, with custom branding and private label packaging available on bulk orders.

Export and Logistics

  • MOQ: Varies by fruit type and shipping mode; typically 500kg-1 metric ton for air freight orders, 1 FCL (18-20 MT) for reefer sea container bulk orders
  • HS Codes: Vary by fruit category under Chapter 08 (edible fruit and nuts); confirm the specific classification for each product with your customs broker
  • Port of Loading: Kolkata Port (INCCU) or Haldia (INHAL) for sea freight; Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport for air freight
  • Lead Time: 2-5 days air transit to Middle East and Southeast Asia; 7-25 days sea transit depending on destination and fruit category

Certifications

Phytosanitary certificate from the Plant Quarantine Department for every shipment, fumigation certificate where required by destination country, APEDA registration, Certificate of Origin. Treatment certification (vapor heat, hot water, or cold treatment) available where required by destination market for specific fruit categories. Organic certification available on request for select produce.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fruits does an Indian bulk fruit export company typically supply?

A multi-product exporter based in West Bengal typically supplies mango and litchi from local growing regions, along with citrus, banana, pineapple, coconut, and seasonal fruit like cherry sourced from other Indian states through an established procurement network. Availability follows each fruit's harvest calendar rather than being year-round for every category.

How do I decide between air freight and sea freight for a bulk fruit order?

Highly perishable fruit like cherry or litchi generally needs air freight to arrive in sellable condition, while higher-shelf-life fruit like mango, banana, and coconut ship economically by reefer sea container at true bulk volumes. The right choice depends on the specific fruit's shelf life against your required transit time.

What documentation does a fresh fruit shipment need for international import clearance?

Every shipment needs a phytosanitary certificate from India's Plant Quarantine Department and a Certificate of Origin. Some fruit categories and destination markets additionally require fumigation certificates or specific treatment certification, such as vapor heat treatment for mango bound for the US.

What is the minimum order quantity for bulk fruit export from India?

MOQ depends on the fruit type and shipping mode. Air-freighted premium categories typically start around 500kg to 1 metric ton, while reefer sea container bulk orders generally start at 1 FCL, roughly 18-20 metric tons. Confirm the specific MOQ for your target fruit and season with the exporter directly.

Why source bulk fruit exports through a Kolkata-based company?

Kolkata combines real local horticultural strength in mango and litchi with port and airport infrastructure that supports both sea and air shipment, plus rail connectivity to other Indian growing regions for fruit types not native to the area. This lets importers consolidate multiple fruit categories through one exporter and one documentation process rather than coordinating separately across several states.
