FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are Indian Bottle Gourds (Lauki) available for international export year-round?
Yes, Indian Bottle Gourds are available for export throughout the year. The peak season for the highest quality, tender gourds is from February to June. We source primarily from the fertile plains of North and West India to ensure consistent size and freshness.
Every shipment of Bottle Gourd undergoes rigorous pesticide Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) testing in APEDA-authorized laboratories. We comply with Global GAP standards and provide mandatory Phytosanitary Certification to meet the safety requirements of the EU, UK, and Middle East markets.
We pack Bottle Gourds in 5kg or 7kg corrugated fiberboard (CFB) cartons with specialized cushioning to prevent skin damage and bruising. For international transit, we maintain a strict cold chain at 10-12°C in refrigerated (reefer) containers to preserve texture and shelf life.
Our primary export destinations include the Middle East (UAE, Qatar), Southeast Asia, and the United Kingdom. We supply to ethnic retail supermarket chains, international vegetable wholesalers, and specialized grocery networks.
