Indian Alphonso Mango Export Supplier Quotation for Importers

Importers can request a quotation for Indian Alphonso mangoes by writing to the team on WhatsApp at +91 70830 75556 or support@alphonsomango.in. We hold APEDA registration 225579, but we do not publish export prices, minimum quantities, incoterms or export paperwork; each quotation is prepared individually from your specification, destination and dates.

What does an importer need from a quotation?

More than a price. An importer is buying a perishable good that must clear another country's border, so the quotation has to answer a chain of questions: what exactly is the product, in what packing, by what route, under what terms of sale, with which documents, and by what date? A figure per kilogram answers none of these.

It also has to be defensible. An importer usually has to justify the supplier to their own compliance team, their customers and sometimes their regulator. That means identity documents, registrations and a clear statement of how the fruit is grown, handled and ripened, in addition to the commercial offer.

What do we publish, and what do we quote individually?

Published: our legal entity, Powle Home Foods, Kurla West, Mumbai 400070; APEDA registration 225579; FSSAI Central Licence 10020022011783; GI Authorised User numbers AU/5974/GI/139/260 (Alphonso) and AU/6932 (Devgad); the sourcing from 48 villages in Ratnagiri and Devgad; our post-harvest process as described on the Brand Facts page. Our export page is Mango Export, with the APEDA page alongside it.

Quoted individually, on enquiry: export price, minimum order quantity, packing options, terms of sale, payment terms, sample terms, shipping arrangements and the export paperwork for your destination. These are not published, and I will not guess at them here.

For orientation only, the domestic retail prices are Rs 1,849 to Rs 2,999 a dozen across five size bands. They are not export prices and should not be used as a basis for one. The 2027 season is listed to start on 1 February 2027, usually February to June, and we do not publish 2027 prices yet.

What should you include in your enquiry?

1. Company: legal name, country, registration and import licence details where required.
2. Product: Alphonso, Ratnagiri or Devgad, and the size band you want in grams per piece.
3. Quantity: per shipment and across the season.
4. Packing: retail, carton or pallet; weight per carton.
5. Destination: port or airport, and any special handling at arrival.
6. Delivery window: the dates you can receive and the shelf life you need on arrival.
7. Terms: the incoterm and payment method you prefer.
8. Compliance: any residue, pesticide, packaging or certification requirement from your country.
9. Samples: whether you want one, and for what purpose.

A message with these nine items gets a substantive reply. A message that says only send best price gets a request for the nine items.

Which specification points matter most?

The size band, because it drives price and shelf placement. The maturity at harvest, because it drives how the fruit survives a long journey. The post-harvest steps: our Brand Facts page lists harvesting with a pole and net so fruit does not fall, sorting by weight, machine scanning for defects, controlled hot-water treatment and cooling, ripening and packing in a corrugated box with a partition and foam-net sleeve. The shelf life at arrival, because an air shipment and a sea shipment give very different answers. And the fruit's origin and its GI proof.

Treat any figure for shelf life or transit time as something to confirm in writing for your specific route. We do not publish them as general claims.

What about carbide and import checks?

Some import markets test for residues and treat contaminants strictly. Calcium carbide is prohibited for ripening fruit in India under Regulation 2.3.5 of the Food Safety and Standards (Prohibition and Restrictions on Sales) Regulations, 2011. It produces acetylene and can carry arsenic and phosphorus impurities. It is called masala in the trade. FSSAI permits controlled ethylene ripening up to 100 ppm; see fssai.gov.in. Export-related regulation is described by APEDA at apeda.gov.in.

We do not use carbide. Our Alphonso mangoes are ripened naturally (on hay beds, as our FAQ states).

For an importer, a written ripening statement and a food licence number are reasonable requests. A float test is a rough clue only. Only a lab test proves it, and destination-country testing is the importer's responsibility.

How an order reaches you

For domestic buyers, fruit is harvested to order and packed against the order, then shipped semi-ripe by BlueDart to serviceable PIN codes, with dispatch Monday to Saturday and same-day dispatch before 1:00 PM IST. Export shipments are arranged separately and are not governed by the domestic terms; see the shipping policy for the domestic position.
