Exporting Indian fruit and vegetables to Russia
Fresh produce is the most operationally demanding trade in this corridor and the least forgiving of delay. Grapes, pomegranates, mangoes, onions and potatoes all move, but only where the cold chain and the paperwork are genuinely under control.
What this trade actually requires
Phytosanitary certification and pest control
Per consignment, with treatment where required. Fresh produce is inspected at destination and rejections are effectively total losses.
Cold chain from the field
Temperature control has to start at packing, not at the port, and be documented throughout.
Transit time realism
Route selection determines which products are viable at all. Some produce simply cannot make certain routings in certain seasons.

Common questions
+–Which Indian produce works best for Russia?
It depends on season and routing more than on the product. We assess viability before you commit to a buyer, because an unviable routing cannot be fixed later.
+–What is the biggest risk?
Transit delay. Everything else can be planned around; a delayed reefer usually cannot be recovered.
+–Do you inspect at the packhouse?
Yes. For fresh produce, inspection at the point of packing is the only inspection that helps.
