Farm-Gate Procurement

Direct Farmer-Gate Sourcing & Processing

Nashik red onions are globally prized for their long transit life and high pungency. Sourced from our trusted farmer cooperatives in Lasalgaon and Pimpalgaon, Maharashtra. After harvesting, onions are spread out in natural wind drying sheds (Kanda Chawl) for curing to seal the outer skin. They are then screened to exclude doubles, graded by size, and loaded into dehumidified containers to prevent sprouting and rot.
