Origin & Traceability
Sourced from Gujarat / Maharashtra Dehydration Units
Geographic Origin
Gujarat (Mahuva, Bhavnagar, Gondal) and Maharashtra (Nashik region) dehydration clusters source raw onion from the same growing regions as our fresh Onion product, processing during Rabi harvest (Mar–May) for full-year supply. Indonesia (₹247 Cr), Germany (₹206 Cr), and USA (₹199 Cr) are the three largest buyers of dehydrated onion from India — reflecting industrial food processors and seasoning manufacturers in each market.
Harvest Cycle & Availability
When It's Harvested
Raw onion is procured at Rabi harvest peak (March–May), dehydrated, and stored. Finished dehydrated onion has a 12–24 month shelf life — year-round supply is straightforward. Quality control centers on moisture (max 5–6%), color (affected by raw onion quality and dehydration temperature), and microbiological limits (Salmonella-free, TPC within spec). Microbiological test report per shipment is the expected compliance document for industrial food manufacturer buyers in Germany, Indonesia, and the USA.
Year-round (processed)
Raw onion procured at harvest, dehydrated, and stored. Finished product ships year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions
Buyer Questions, Answered
Flakes (3–5mm irregular pieces): soup mixes, spice blends, ready-meal applications where visible onion texture is desired. Kibbled/granules (1–3mm uniform, sieve-graded): seasoning blends, snack coatings, burger patty manufacturing — the most versatile form for industrial food production. Powder (80–100 mesh): sauce, gravy, and dip manufacturing where a smooth texture is required. All three have the same intense flavour concentration (~6:1 vs. fresh). Tell us your end use and we'll confirm the right form and particle size specification.
Standard export specification: moisture max 5–6% (critical — higher moisture triggers microbial growth and caking). Microbiological standard: TPC <100,000 CFU/g, E. coli absent, Salmonella absent, yeast/mold <1,000 CFU/g — typical food-manufacturing requirements. Laminated moisture-barrier bags prevent re-absorption in humid climates. We supply a microbiological test report per shipment; ISO 22000/HACCP certification covers our dehydration facility.
Indonesia (₹247 Cr) and Germany (₹206 Cr) are the largest buyers of Indian dehydrated onion. Indonesia uses it extensively in seasoning sachets and instant noodle flavour packs. Germany is India's largest EU buyer — German food manufacturers use dehydrated onion in soups, sauces, and ready meals. The US (₹199 Cr) sources for its large industrial food processing sector. In all three markets, Indian dehydrated onion competes primarily on price and consistent quality specification vs. Chinese origin.
Standard MOQ: 1×20ft FCL (form: flakes, kibbled, or powder — specify). Payment: 60% advance + 40% against BL copy. Terms improve — 50/50 on second, 40/60 on third. LC at sight for repeat buyers.
