Questions buyers ask

Onion container quote FAQs

How do I get a quote for red onions in a 40ft container?

For a container quote, send: size grade (25–35 mm, 35–45 mm, 45–55 mm or 55 mm+), quantity in containers, your discharge port, packing (mesh bag weight or jute), and whether you want FOB Nhava Sheva or CIF your port. WhatsApp +91 98981 16829 or use the form on this page. One 40ft reefer holds about 28 tonnes, and that is our minimum order.

What does a 40ft container of Indian red onions cost?

Our indicative Nashik export-grade buying range checked 19 Oct 2026 was ₹47–53 per kg. That is not a packed FOB offer or the landed container cost. The CIF figure depends on your port and shipment week. See the dated indications on our onion price page and request a firm written quote.

Do you quote FOB or CIF?

Both. FOB is priced at Nhava Sheva (Mumbai) and you arrange the sea leg. CIF is priced to your discharge port and includes ocean freight and marine insurance. Tell us which you want in your enquiry; if you are new to the lane, CIF is simpler because one number covers everything to your port.

Will you quote a ventilated container instead of a reefer?

Yes — tell us which you want and we will price it. We normally ship red onion in a 40ft reefer held at 0–4 °C, because that protects the skin and holds shelf life on longer Gulf lanes. A ventilated container costs less and is workable on short transits with well-cured stock, but it carries more risk in humid weather. We will quote either and tell you honestly which one suits your port and your shipment month.

Can you quote storage onions rather than fresh crop?

Yes. Stored rabi onion from Nashik is available most of the year and travels well because it is fully cured. Fresh kharif crop from the Pune belt runs roughly November to March. Say which you need, or tell us your arrival window and we will advise which crop suits it.

What is your minimum order?

One 40ft container, about 28 tonnes. We do not ship LCL or part loads. If you want to trial the quality first, ask for a pre-shipment sample and photographs of the graded lot before loading.

What are your payment terms?

30% advance to confirm the booking, and the remaining 70% against a copy of the bill of lading. We quote in USD. Terms on repeat shipments can be discussed once we have shipped together.

How long is a quote valid?

The standard quoted validity is 72 hours. Check the expiry, shipment window and any conditions on your written offer before confirming an order.

Have you actually shipped before?

Yes. 500+ export containers handled since 2022 (company transaction records, not independently audited). The total covers the earlier proprietorship and current partnership. Read our export track-record explanation and verify the current APEDA RCMC, IEC, GST and Udyam registrations before ordering.
