About This Product

Green seedless grapes (Vitis vinifera, Thompson Seedless variety) packed in the 4.5kg export carton at 18mm berry size represent India's standard premium export specification, sized and graded for retail-ready presentation with high sugar content. The variety is grown almost entirely in Nashik, Maharashtra, India's grape export hub, supported by mature cold storage and grading infrastructure built specifically around this crop's tight harvest and export window. Operating from Chennai as a trading and export coordination base, we source Thompson Seedless directly from Nashik growers and manage grading, packing, and shipment documentation for international buyers. For global importers and wholesale distributors, this offers India's flagship export grape variety with consistent premium sizing and Brix grading, and the phytosanitary and pesticide residue documentation import markets require for fresh produce.

18mm High-Brix Grade: What This Specification Signals

Why 18mm and High Brix Are Specified Together

18mm berry size sits in the standard-to-premium range for Thompson Seedless, and pairing this size with a high-Brix specification (18-20 degrees, above the general market minimum of 16) targets buyers prioritizing eating quality and sweetness over maximum berry size or bunch weight. This combination is what specialty retail and premium fruit box buyers typically request, since it delivers consistent flavor rather than just visual size.

The 4.5kg Carton Format

4.5kg is a standard premium export weight for grapes, sized for retail-ready vented clamshell or perforated punnet packing that lets air circulate around the bunches during transit, important for preventing moisture buildup and mold in a fruit this densely packed. Buyers needing bulk wholesale volume rather than retail-ready presentation sometimes specify larger cartons instead.

Why We Operate from Chennai for Nashik Sourcing

Nashik sits on India's western side, a considerable distance from Chennai, so our role here is trading, quality grading, and export documentation rather than proximity to the vineyards, Mumbai's JNPT is the more geographically direct port most grape exporters use. What Chennai offers is established export infrastructure and container/air cargo booking processes that support buyers consolidating grape orders alongside other South Indian export categories through a single coordination point. Buyers prioritizing the most direct routing for grapes specifically may find Mumbai-based export offers a shorter path.
