How do you confirm Gulf shipping routes and freight?

Send the destination port and shipment week. We confirm the available sailing, direct or transshipment route, freight and applicable surcharges before issuing a quotation. Do not assume that a published port rate includes inland delivery.

What does the CIF price include?

CIF = the onion rate in India + grading and mesh-bag packing + transport to Nhava Sheva + port handling + reefer sea freight and insurance to your port. It does not include duty or clearing at destination.

Do you supply Pune onion as well as Nashik onion?

Yes. From November to March the fresh kharif crop comes from the Pune belt (Junnar, Ambegaon, Khed and Shirur, traded at Manchar and Chakan), when stored Nashik rabi stock is thinnest and dearest. Pune kharif onion is milder and thinner-skinned with a 3 to 4 week shelf life; Nashik stored rabi keeps 45 to 60 days. Season calendar and full specification at alnoorexim.com/pune-onion.php.
