5 On-Ground Checkpoints Before Container Sealing
Whether you buy directly from THE TRUSTROUTES PVT. LTD. or appoint us to inspect a third-party Indian supplier, our field engineers verify:
✓ On-ground packhouse grading table audit in Nashik/Lasalgaon to prevent mixing of undersized (<45mm) bulbs inside the lot.
✓ Outer skin curing and neck-dryness inspection to prevent moisture condensation and sprouting during sea transit.
✓ Random bag opening and digital weighing across 50+ bags per lot to verify exact net weight vs. gross weight (including 1–1.5% transit weight-loss buffer where agreed).
✓ 40ft Reefer container pre-cooling, floor dryness, ventilation drain, and airflow channel verification during stuffing.
✓ Timestamped photographs and 10–12 second live container loading & bolt-seal locking video sent before vessel departure.

Frequently asked questions from international importers.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for importing fresh onions from India?
Our standard B2B export MOQ for fresh Indian red or pink onions is 1 x 20ft ventilated container (~13–14 MT) or 1 x 40ft Reefer High-Cube container (~28–29 MT). For dehydrated onion flakes or powder, MOQ starts at 1 x 20ft FCL (~14–16 MT).
How do you prevent sprouting and rot during container transit to the UAE or Europe?
We enforce a 4-stage pre-shipment protocol at the Nashik packhouse: (1) Selecting only well-cured double-skin bulbs with dry necks, (2) Sorting out any bruised or twin bulbs on the grading table, (3) Packing in breathable UV-stabilized leno mesh or jute bags, and (4) Supervising ventilated reefer stowage with proper airflow channels and temperature/humidity settings.
Can you collect 4–6 comparable quotes from Nashik onion packhouses if we want buyer-side sourcing?
Yes. In addition to direct export supply, you can appoint THE TRUSTROUTES PVT. LTD. as your buyer-side procurement and inspection representative in Maharashtra—we collect 4 to 6 comparable packhouse quotations, verify stock on-ground, and supervise container loading for an agreed commission or fee.
