FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Indian Lady Finger (Okra) available for export year-round?
Yes, Indian Lady Finger is available for export throughout the year. The peak season for the highest quality, tender pods is from February to May. We source from the best growing regions in Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh to ensure a continuous supply for our global clients.
Okra is a high-priority crop for pesticide monitoring. All our exports to the UK and EU are processed through APEDA-authorized pack houses where every batch is sampled and tested in NABL-accredited labs to ensure 100% compliance with the destination country's Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs).
Freshness is critical for Okra. We primarily use high-priority air freight, packing the pods in 5kg corrugated fiberboard (CFB) cartons. For shorter sea routes, we use refrigerated (reefer) containers at 7-10°C with controlled humidity to prevent moisture loss and preserve the green color.
Our primary export markets include the United Kingdom, several European Union countries, and the Middle East. We supply to mainstream retail supermarket chains and international vegetable importers who demand consistent quality and safety compliance.
