  • Expanding Our Russia & CIS operations

    Our overseas office in Moscow has been operating for several years now, and 2026 is the year we’re scaling that operation up. New warehousing partnerships in the Moscow region and improved consolidated rail-and-road logistics mean shorter lead times and better pricing for importers across Russia, Belarus, and the wider CIS region.

    What it means for buyers

    For our existing partners in Russia and Belarus, this translates to shorter dispatch-to-receipt windows on onions, garlic, potatoes, grapes and rice. For new buyers across the CIS, we now have on-the-ground capacity to handle bulk consolidated containers and respond to specification changes faster than ever.

    We are deeply grateful to our farming partners and our team in both Bhilwara and Moscow who continue to make this possible.

  • Aseptic mango pulp line: now booking 2026 contracts

    India’s 2026 mango season is shaping up well, and we’re now booking volumes for our aseptic mango pulp line — Alphonso, Kesar, and Totapuri varieties — from our processing partners in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.

    What’s in the line

    • Alphonso pulp — premium grade, 14-16% TSS
    • Kesar pulp — aromatic, saffron-yellow
    • Totapuri pulp — tart, industrial grade

    Pulp is supplied in 215 kg aseptic drums or 3.1 kg cans (×6 carton), with 18-24 month shelf life under ambient storage. Specifications are tunable for beverage, baby food, dairy, and confectionery applications.

    Sample drums are available for serious enquiries. The early-booking window is open through June.

  • AGMARK and FSSAI renewals completed for 2026

    We are pleased to confirm that Naveen Vegetable Company has successfully completed its AGMARK quality certification renewal and FSSAI food-safety registration renewal for the 2026 cycle.

    Together with our existing APEDA, FIEO and Spices Board registrations, these renewals reaffirm the standards every batch of Naveen produce is held to — from incoming raw-material checks at the farm gate, through processing and packing, to the final dispatch from origin.

    What this means for buyers

    Buyers can continue to expect documentation harmonised with international import requirements, with batch-level reports available on request. Existing customers will receive updated certificate copies via their account managers.

  • Monsoon 2026 supply outlook: what buyers should expect

    Early indicators from the India Meteorological Department point to a favourable southwest monsoon for the 2026 Kharif season. Here’s our view on what that means for international buyers sourcing from our regions.

    Onions, garlic & potatoes

    Maharashtra and Rajasthan — our primary sourcing belts for red onions, garlic and potatoes — are expected to see normal-to-above-normal rainfall. We anticipate stable supply and competitive pricing through Q3, with peak availability windows from October through April for onions and February through May for garlic.

    Rice & grains

    The basmati belt (Punjab, Haryana, UP) is on track for on-time sowing. Buyers should plan their Q4 dispatch windows around the post-harvest milling cycle (November onwards).

    Spices & seeds

    Cumin from Rajasthan and Gujarat is now in peak season — March-May availability is strong. Ginger from Kerala and Karnataka will pick up from October.

    Recommended action

    We recommend locking in volume commitments for the October-February window during the next four weeks to secure preferred freight slots and pricing.
