Indian Onions for Gulf Importers: Quality, Compliance, Reliability

Onions are a staple in Gulf kitchens, from home cooking to large-scale food processing. For importers in the Gulf region, ensuring consistent quality, long shelf life, and compliance with local regulations is critical.

India, as a major onion exporter, has built systems to meet these standards—but working with the right partner can make all the difference.

At TwinRoots International, we specialize in providing Gulf importers with onions that meet every expectation for taste, quality, and compliance.

Meeting Gulf Market Requirements

Gulf countries have specific standards for imported onions, including:

• Size and Uniformity: Sorted by size and weight for retail and industrial buyers.
• Low Moisture Content: Properly cured onions (under 6% moisture) prevent spoilage in transit.
• Appearance: Clean, firm, blemish-free, and sprout-free onions only.
• Packaging: Export-ready mesh bags or cartons that preserve freshness.
• Compliance: Phytosanitary certificates and APEDA registration ensure regulatory alignment.

By focusing on these parameters, importers can minimize losses and ensure peak condition upon arrival.
