About This Product

Alphonso mango (Mangifera indica) is grown along Maharashtra's Konkan coast in the Ratnagiri and Devgad belts, both holding Geographical Indication (GI) status for their distinctive saffron-colored flesh, low fiber content, and signature aroma. It reaches peak export quality during its short March-to-June harvest window, hand-graded and cleared through mandatory hot water treatment before international shipment. Operating from Kolkata as a trading and export coordination base, we source Alphonso directly from Ratnagiri and Devgad orchards, managing grading, treatment scheduling, and shipment documentation for bulk buyers. For UAE importers and wholesale distributors, this means access to India's most recognized mango variety with consistent grading and the phytosanitary and treatment documentation Gulf customs authorities require for fresh mango imports.

Air Freight vs. Sea Freight for Bulk Alphonso Orders

When Air Freight Is the Right Call

Air freight preserves Alphonso's peak ripeness and Brix reading better than any other shipping mode, which matters for premium retail buyers and hospitality programs where the fruit is sold as a standalone premium item rather than a bulk commodity. It costs more per kilo, so it's generally reserved for orders where presentation quality justifies the freight premium.

When Sea Freight Works for Bulk Orders

Reefer sea container shipment brings the per-kilo cost down substantially for genuinely bulk wholesale orders, and Alphonso can hold up reasonably well under proper cold chain for the 10-15 day sea transit to Gulf ports if harvested at the correct maturity stage for the longer journey. Buyers ordering at true bulk volume for general retail distribution, rather than premium display, typically find sea freight the more economical choice.

Why We Operate from Kolkata for Konkan Coast Sourcing

Ratnagiri and Devgad sit on Maharashtra's western coast, well south and west of Kolkata, so our role here is trading, grading coordination, and export documentation rather than proximity to the orchards. Kolkata's port and international airport support both sea and air freight options for buyers with different transit and cost priorities, and centralizing procurement, hot water treatment scheduling, and documentation through a single base keeps the process consistent across a short and weather-sensitive harvest window. Given how narrow the Alphonso season is, this coordination matters more than physical distance from any single orchard block.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Alphonso mango actually grown?

Alphonso is grown on Maharashtra's Konkan coast, primarily in the Ratnagiri and Devgad belts, both holding Geographical Indication (GI) status. Export coordination, treatment scheduling, and documentation for our shipments are managed from Kolkata, with the fruit sourced directly from these Konkan coast orchards.

Should bulk Alphonso mango orders ship by air or sea to the UAE?

Air freight preserves peak ripeness and Brix for premium retail and hospitality orders, typically 1-3 days transit. Sea freight in reefer containers costs less per kilo and suits genuinely bulk wholesale volume, at 10-15 days transit, provided the fruit is harvested at the right maturity stage for the longer journey.

Why does Alphonso mango require hot water treatment before export?

Hot water treatment eliminates fruit fly larvae and certain fungal pathogens before phytosanitary clearance, and it's mandatory for Alphonso export regardless of destination. Some markets additionally require vapor heat treatment, so confirm destination-specific requirements before shipment processing begins.

When is Alphonso mango available for bulk export to the UAE?

The harvest season runs from March to June, with peak volume and quality typically in April and May. Availability outside this window is limited, so buyers should confirm current-season timing before placing a bulk order.

What HS code applies to Alphonso mango exports from India?

Fresh Alphonso mango is classified under HS code 0804.50.20, the same heading used for fresh mangoes generally. Treatment certification must typically accompany this classification for GCC customs clearance, so confirm both the code and documentation requirements with your customs broker before the first shipment.
