Yes, Indian Brinjals are available for export throughout the year. The peak harvest periods are from February to May and from August to October. We source various varieties, including small green and long purple brinjals, from the best growing regions in India to ensure consistent supply and quality.
For the EU and UK markets, Brinjals must be processed and sampled at APEDA-authorized pack houses. Every batch undergoes rigorous pesticide Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) testing in NABL-accredited laboratories to ensure 100% compliance with international food safety norms.
We pack Brinjals in 5kg or 10kg corrugated fiberboard (CFB) cartons with protective paper lining to prevent skin damage. For international transit, we maintain a strict cold chain at 10-12°C in refrigerated (reefer) containers; we also use high-priority air freight for premium long-distance markets.
Our primary export destinations include the Middle East (UAE, Qatar), the United Kingdom, and Southeast Asia. We supply to ethnic retail supermarket chains, international vegetable wholesalers, and specialized grocery networks.
