Quality & Certification

Export-grade Indian grapes are harvested at full maturity with natural bloom intact, machine-sorted for berry size and colour uniformity, and packed under APEDA-registered cold chain protocols. Each consignment is supported by phytosanitary certificates, EU MRL-compliant pesticide residue test reports (conforming to EC 396/2005 standards), fumigation certificates, and certificate of origin. Indian grapes have successfully maintained EU market access with rigorous compliance to pesticide residue interception benchmarks — a key trust signal for European retail buyers. GlobalGAP-certified farm sourcing available on request.
