Apple Exporters in India — Kashmiri & Himachal Apples for Global B2B Buyers

VGF Global is an India-based apple exporter supplying Grade-A Kashmiri and Himachal apples — including Royal Delicious, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Honeycrisp — to importers, distributors, supermarkets and HORECA buyers across the Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia. We handle grading, cold-chain packing, phytosanitary documentation and port logistics, exporting under FSSAI, IEC, APEDA and ISO 22000:2018 compliance.

Apple exporters in India source fruit from the country's three main apple-growing regions — Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand — then grade, cold-store and pack it to export specification before shipping it to overseas buyers. The leading exporters compete on three things: variety range, consistent grading, and an unbroken cold chain from orchard to destination port.

Apple Varieties Exported from India

We supply a range of premium-tier table apples grown in pristine high-altitude orchards, delivering exceptional colour, firmness, and natural sweetness to overseas buyers.

Kashmiri Apples

Grown in Jammu & Kashmir, the region that accounts for the majority of India's apple output. Prized for rich red colour, firm flesh and crisp texture; the marquee variety is Kashmiri Red Delicious, strong for retail display and gifting.

Himachal Apples

Himachal Pradesh produces the Royal Delicious and Golden Delicious that anchor much of India's premium apple export. Known for balanced sweetness and reliable grading.

Honeycrisp

A high-value variety with a sweet-tart flavour and exceptionally crisp bite; commands premium positioning. Himachal-grown Honeycrisp is increasingly specified by importers building a premium tier.

Red, Golden & Royal Delicious

The export workhorse: deep colour, long shelf life under cold storage, consistent eating quality across a full carton.

Quality, Grading, Cold-Chain & Certifications

Grading

Count-graded by size (e.g. 100, 113, 125 count per carton) for uniform fruit size; Grade-A / export-grade only — uniform colour, clean finish, firm flesh, no transit defects.

Cold chain

Controlled-atmosphere (CA) storage and temperature-controlled reefers preserve crispness and shelf life from orchard to destination port.

Packing

Telescopic and tray-packed cartons with individual foam netting; private-label and buyer-spec packing available.

Certifications & documentation

Exports under IEC (DGFT), APEDA registration, an FSSAI licence, and ISO 22000:2018 food-safety management. Every consignment ships with the phytosanitary certificate the destination country requires; documentation packs provided to importers.

Who We Supply

Importers & distributors

Container-volume supply on FOB/CIF terms with the grading consistency and documentation needed to clear customs and resell with confidence.

Supermarkets & retail chains

Count-graded, uniformly packed cartons for predictable shelf presentation; private-label options and scheduled replenishment.

Food-service & hotel groups

Variety mixes matched to use, delivered to specification on a recurring basis.

How to Import Apples from India

Sourcing is straightforward. Tell us four things — the variety, the quantity, your destination country, and your preferred terms (FOB/CIF) — and we confirm availability, packing and a current export price. Because export pricing moves with variety, grade, season, volume and freight, we quote per order rather than publish a list price, and we turn quotes around in 24 hours.
