FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Indian Papdi (Val) available for export year-round?
No, Indian Papdi is a highly seasonal vegetable. The peak export season is during the winter months, from October to March, particularly when 'Surti Papdi' is at its most tender. We plan shipments in advance to ensure our global clients receive the highest quality harvest.
Every shipment of Papdi 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 UK, EU, and Middle East markets.
To maintain texture and color, we pack Papdi in 5kg or 10kg corrugated cartons with protective paper lining. We primarily utilize high-priority air freight and maintain a strict cold chain at 8-10°C to prevent chilling injury and ensure maximum freshness at the destination.
Our primary export destinations include the United Kingdom, Canada, and the Middle East. We specialize in supplying to ethnic retail supermarket chains and international vegetable wholesalers serving the expatriate South Asian communities.
