Six lines running year-round. Each one has a fixed packing spec and a monthly capacity we actually commit to. These are volumes we ship now, not volumes we are hoping to reach.

Who we are
A trading desk built on relationships at the farm.
Raka Trading Co. trades fresh fruit and vegetables in both directions. We export from India and our partner origins to importers across the Gulf and Southeast Asia, and we import fruit from around the world into the Indian market.
We know how these markets move, we have bought from the same farmers for years, and we do not cut corners on quality. That combination is what lets us hold price and reliability at the same time. Most trade houses end up picking one.
Working both directions helps more than people expect. We can see which origin is peaking, where the freight is sitting, when to hold and when to ship. Our buyers get that read as part of the service.
We export
Onion, green chilli, pomegranate, banana, semi husk coconut, tomatoes.
We import
Apples, blueberry, kiwi, dragon fruit, oranges, mandarins, grapes.
Where we ship
Built around the Gulf and Southeast Asia.
These are the two markets we run every week. Mostly repeat programmes for importers, wholesalers and distributors, rather than one-off lots.
The Gulf
Our biggest export market. Sailings out of India are short, so the fruit still has shelf life on it when it reaches the wholesale market. We also know how each buyer reads a grading sheet, which saves everybody an argument.
- United Arab Emirates
- Saudi Arabia
- Qatar
- Kuwait
- Oman
- Bahrain
Southeast Asia
Growing quickly for Indian onion, chilli and coconut. It works the other way round too. A lot of our dragon fruit and tropical fruit is sourced here.

Why Raka
The reasons buyers come back.
01
We buy at the farm gate
Straight from growers across India and our partner origins, with no layers of aggregators sitting in between. That is where most of the price advantage comes from.
02
Graded before it is packed
Every lot gets sized, colour-checked and defect-sorted against your spec before anything goes into a carton. What you agreed on paper is what lands at your port.
03
Cold chain that holds
Pre-cooled properly, loaded properly, held at temperature for the whole leg. Produce should arrive with shelf life left to sell, not just enough to inspect.
04
Documents ready when the box is
Phytosanitary, certificate of origin, inspection reports, shipping documents. All of it raised while the container is being loaded, so clearance never turns into the thing holding you up.
05
We trade both ways
Running exports and imports off the same desk means we watch both sides of the market as it moves. It also means our containers rarely go back empty.
06
One person, start to finish
Same contact from first enquiry to delivery order, on WhatsApp, in your hours. No handoffs. No chasing. No version of the story that changes depending on who picks up.
How we work
Enquiry to delivery, in five steps.
- 01
Enquiry & specification
Send the product, the volume, how you want it packed and where it has to go. We come back with a price indication and the nearest sailing window, usually the same day.
- 02
Sourcing & grading
We pull the lot from whichever origin is best on price and quality that week, then grade and sort it to your spec.
- 03
Packing & pre-cooling
Packed in the format you agreed, pre-cooled to pulp temperature and stuffed under supervision. You get photographs before the doors shut.
- 04
Documents & sailing
Paperwork is raised alongside the loading rather than after it, so the documents reach you ahead of the vessel.
- 05
Tracking to delivery
Container tracking and ETA updates until the box is discharged and cleared at your end. If something slips, you hear it from us first.
Common questions
What importers ask us first.
Anything not covered here, message us on WhatsApp. You will get a straight answer, not a brochure.
Ask a questionWhat does Raka Trading Co. export from India?
Six lines: onion at 55 mm+ in 20 kg mesh bags, up to 500 MT a month; green chilli in Gauri and Eagle varieties, 4 kg boxes; red pomegranate in 2 kg and 5 kg boxes; banana; semi husk coconut at 450–650 g in 13 kg PP bags; and tomatoes at 35 mm+ in 5 kg boxes.
Which markets do you export to?
The Gulf and Southeast Asia, mainly. We supply importers, wholesalers and distributors in both, usually on repeat weekly or monthly programmes rather than one-off lots.
What fruit does Raka Trading Co. import into India?
Apples in Royal Gala and Red Delicious out of Turkey, France, Poland, Italy and Chile, plus blueberry, kiwi, dragon fruit, oranges, mandarins and grapes. We move between origins as each season opens.
What is the minimum order?
One full container. We trade FCL, and most of our buyers run standing weekly or monthly volumes rather than single shipments.
Which Incoterms do you work on?
FOB, CFR and CIF out of Indian ports. Door delivery is possible in most of the markets we serve.
What documents come with a shipment?
Phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading, plus whatever inspection or fumigation certificates the destination requires. All of it is raised while the container is loading, so the documents travel ahead of the vessel.
How is the produce packed and kept fresh?
Every product has a fixed packing spec. Mesh bags for onion, cartons for chilli, pomegranate, banana and tomato, PP bags for semi husk coconut. Lots are graded to your spec, pre-cooled to pulp temperature and stuffed under supervision, in reefer or dry containers depending on the product.
How do I get a quote?
Message us on WhatsApp or email with the product, volume, packing and destination. You will normally have a price indication and a sailing window back the same day.
