About This Product

Orange (Citrus sinensis and Citrus reticulata hybrids) supplied in the standard 10kg export carton is sourced from Nagpur, Maharashtra, home to the Nagpur Orange, one of India's most recognized citrus varieties and a Geographical Indication (GI) tagged product known for its thin, easy-peel skin and consistently high juice content. Nagpur sits at the center of Maharashtra's Vidarbha citrus belt, supported by decades of established grading, cold storage, and export infrastructure built specifically around this crop. For UAE importers and wholesale distributors, Nagpur-sourced orange in 10kg export packing offers a recognized origin variety, consistent size and juice-content grading, and the phytosanitary documentation Gulf customs authorities require for fresh produce.

Why 10kg Is a Common Citrus Export Format, and When to Adjust

What the 10kg Carton Suits

A 10kg carton is a manageable retail-and-wholesale bridge size, light enough for manual handling at the receiving end while still supporting efficient container loading for bulk buyers. It's a common specification for citrus specifically because oranges don't need the extra-light individual handling that more delicate fruit requires, so a slightly heavier standard carton works well without added risk of bruising.

When to Choose a Different Size

Some wholesale buyers and foodservice operations request 15kg or 20kg cartons to reduce the number of individual boxes handled per container, lowering labor cost at the receiving end for buyers with bulk redistribution operations. Retail-focused buyers sometimes prefer smaller 5kg cartons for direct shelf placement without repacking. Confirm your specific handling and distribution setup before defaulting to the 10kg standard.

Why Source from Nagpur, Maharashtra

Nagpur's reputation as India's orange capital didn't happen by accident, the Vidarbha region's soil and climate conditions are specifically suited to citrus cultivation, and generations of orchard management here have built grading standards and cold storage infrastructure around this single crop's export requirements. The GI tag on Nagpur Orange gives buyers a verifiable origin claim beyond generic "Indian orange" sourcing, which matters for premium retail positioning. Nagpur's established road and rail connectivity to India's major ports supports consistent export scheduling despite being an inland growing region.

Packaging and Trade Details

Packaging Options

10kg corrugated export cartons with ventilation holes for airflow during transit, the standard specification for this product. 5kg retail-ready cartons and 15-20kg bulk cartons available on request.

  • HS Code: 0805.10.00 for fresh oranges, confirm exact classification with your customs broker as mandarin hybrids sometimes fall under a separate subheading depending on destination market rules

  • Lead Time: Stock availability tied to the Ambia Bahar (December-February) and Mrig Bahar (October-November) harvest windows; sea transit to UAE ports typically 8-15 days depending on port of loading, under reefer container conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Nagpur Orange different from other orange varieties?

Nagpur Orange holds Geographical Indication (GI) status and is known for its thin, easy-peel skin and notably high juice content, typically 40-45% by weight, compared to many standard orange varieties. It comes from Maharashtra's Vidarbha citrus belt, where growing conditions and decades of orchard management are specifically suited to this crop.

When is Nagpur Orange available for export?

There are two main harvest windows: Ambia Bahar from December to February and Mrig Bahar from October to November. Combined with cold storage, this gives the crop a longer effective availability window than single-harvest fruits, though buyers should confirm current-season stock before ordering.

Why is 10kg a standard carton size for orange export?

10kg cartons balance manageable handling weight with efficient container loading, and oranges tolerate this weight without the bruising risk more delicate fruit would face in the same carton size. Buyers with different handling setups can request 5kg retail cartons or 15-20kg bulk cartons instead.

What is the minimum order quantity for bulk orange export to the UAE?

Standard bulk orders start at 1 metric ton, with full-container orders typically running 1 FCL, a reefer container holding roughly 18-20 metric tons. Availability depends on the current harvest window, since Nagpur Orange has two distinct seasonal cycles rather than year-round fresh harvest.

What HS code applies to fresh orange exports from India?

Fresh oranges are classified under HS code 0805.10.00. Mandarin and hybrid citrus varieties sometimes fall under a separate subheading depending on the destination country's tariff schedule, so confirm the exact code with your customs broker before the first shipment.
