Looking For Mango Supplier UAE Bulk Alphonso Kesar Export
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Looking for mango supplier UAE bulk delivering Alphonso and Kesar mango export quality with high brix and premium grade.
Shipping Information
Exporter details revealed after verified importer registration
UAE buyers looking for a bulk mango supplier covering both Alphonso and Kesar get access to India's two most recognized premium export varieties through a single sourcing relationship. Alphonso comes from Maharashtra's Ratnagiri and Devgad belt on the Konkan coast, both GI-tagged, known for saffron-colored, fiberless flesh. Kesar comes from Gujarat's Gir region, GI-tagged as "Gir Kesar," known for its distinctive aroma and high sugar content. Mumbai sits close to Ratnagiri and Devgad and within manageable reach of Gir, making it a practical single export point for buyers who want both varieties without managing two separate sourcing relationships. For UAE importers and wholesale distributors, this means consolidated bulk supply, consistent grading across both varieties, and the phytosanitary and treatment documentation Gulf customs authorities require.

Alphonso and Kesar's harvest windows overlap partially, Alphonso running March to June and Kesar following through May and June, which lets a buyer extend their premium mango supply period by combining both rather than relying on a single variety's shorter season. The two also serve slightly different taste preferences, Alphonso's more complex flavor versus Kesar's more concentrated sweetness and aroma, giving retail buyers a way to offer variety within the same premium category.
Buyers running a full-season program typically front-load Alphonso orders early in the March-June window and shift toward Kesar as the season progresses into May-June, rather than ordering both simultaneously from day one. Confirming current harvest timing for each variety separately matters, since Ratnagiri/Devgad and Gir are different growing regions with their own weather-dependent timing.
Ratnagiri and Devgad sit close enough to Mumbai that harvested Alphonso reaches ripening chambers and cold storage within hours, and Gujarat's Gir region, while further north, remains within a manageable distance for consolidating Kesar into the same export operation. Mumbai's international airport and JNPT port support both air freight for premium retail-grade fruit and reefer sea container shipment for bulk wholesale volume, and exporters here have established hot water treatment protocols and UAE-specific documentation experience across both varieties.
2.5kg, 4kg, and 5kg premium retail cartons with individual foam net sleeves per fruit, available for both varieties. 10kg wholesale cartons with cushioned dividers for bulk buyers. Custom gift box packaging available for premium retail and gifting orders. Palletized loading for air cargo, with reefer sea container available for bulk wholesale orders.
Phytosanitary certificate from India's Plant Quarantine Department for every shipment, hot water treatment certificate for both varieties, Certificate of Origin, GI certification for Ratnagiri/Devgad Alphonso and Gir Kesar where applicable, pesticide residue test reports available per batch, APEDA registration.
Yes, Mumbai serves as a practical single export point for both varieties, Alphonso sourced from nearby Ratnagiri and Devgad, and Kesar sourced from Gujarat's Gir region. This lets buyers consolidate both premium varieties through one sourcing relationship rather than managing separate suppliers.
Alphonso, from Maharashtra's Konkan coast, has a saffron-colored, fiberless flesh with a more complex flavor. Kesar, from Gujarat's Gir region, has a distinctive aroma and a more concentrated sweetness, sometimes reaching 20% Brix. Both hold GI status in their respective growing regions.
MOQ typically starts at 500kg per variety for trial orders and 1 metric ton for standard wholesale bulk. FOB pricing varies by variety, grade, and current harvest-season conditions, so request a current quotation specifying variety and volume for an accurate figure.
Alphonso harvest runs March to June, and Kesar follows through May and June. The overlapping windows let buyers extend their premium mango supply period by combining both varieties across the season rather than relying on a single shorter harvest.
Both varieties are classified under HS code 0804.50.20 for fresh mangoes. Treatment certification (hot water treatment) must typically accompany this classification for GCC customs clearance, so confirm both the code and documentation requirements with your customs broker.
