About VED INTERNATIONAL - Fruit Powder Supplier in India

India, Surat in the state of Gujarat is the base of VED INTERNATIONAL. The company lists 20 active products across its catalogue, covering a variety of spray‑dried fruit powders, a coconut milk powder, mint powder, mulberry powder and a few non‑food items. The product list includes BANANA POWDER (HS 1106.30), RASPBERRY POWDER (HS 2103.90), MANGO POWDER (HS 0804.90), LYCHEE POWDER (HS 0804.50) and other fruit powders such as STRAWBERRY, PAPAYA, PINK GUAVA, POMEGRANATE, APPLE, BLACK GRAPE, CRANBERRY, CUSTARD APPLE, DRAGON FRUIT, LEMON, PINEAPPLE and SUGARCANE, each recorded with the specific HS codes shown in the catalogue. In addition the catalogue contains COCONUT MILK POWDER (HS 2106.90), MINT POWDER (HS 0910.91), MULBERRY POWDER (HS 1211.90) and an ORANGE POWDER listed under HS 8309.90 which is classified as a copper‑based alloy powder. The range therefore spans food‑grade fruit and vegetable powders, dairy‑derived milk powder, spice and herb powders, and a single industrial alloy powder.

The catalogue reflects a focus on natural, spray‑dried ingredients that are used in natural cosmetics, food formulations, health supplements and animal feed. Each item is described as food grade or organic, with no additives noted in the product description. The HS code families used (1106, 0804, 2103, 2106, 0910, 1211, 1701, 8309) correspond to raw fruit powders, processed fruit preparations, spices and herbal products, and in one case a metal alloy. This factual profile provides a clear view of the product set that VED INTERNATIONAL makes available for international buyers.

Product Range and Specialties of VED INTERNATIONAL

The current catalogue lists fruit powders derived from banana, raspberry, mango, lychee, strawberry, papaya, pink guava, pomegranate, apple, black grape, cranberry, custard apple, dragon fruit, lemon, pineapple and sugarcane, each produced by spray‑drying to a fine powder. Typical industry specifications for spray‑dried fruit powders include moisture content below 5 %, water activity under 0.4, particle size distribution between 100 µm and 300 µm, and food‑grade purity of 95 % or higher. In the broader fruit‑powder market, buyers often request analysis for vitamin C content, total soluble solids (°Brix), microbial limits (e.g., total plate count <10 CFU/g, absence of E. coli and Salmonella) and pesticide residue compliance according to Codex limits. The coconut milk powder follows dairy‑derived powder standards such as fat content 20‑25 % and protein 10‑12 % in a dry basis, while mint and mulberry powders are treated as herb powders with typical essential oil retention above 0.1 % and microbial limits similar to other food powders. Industry practice also sees these powders packed in multi‑layered polyethylene or metallised bags of 25 kg or 50 kg, suitable for 20 ft or 40 ft containers.

Trade and Export Information - VED INTERNATIONAL

India is a major exporter of spray‑dried fruit and vegetable powders, with the European Union, United States, Middle East and Southeast Asian markets accounting for the largest import volumes. HS chapter 11 (1106) covers dried fruit, chapter 08 (0804, 0805) covers processed fruit, chapter 21 (2103, 2106) covers preparations of fruit or vegetable, and chapter 09 (0910) covers herbs and spices; these codes are routinely inspected by customs authorities and may require phytosanitary certificates, a certificate of origin and compliance with the EU Pesticide Residue Regulation or US Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requirements. Typical certifications requested by importers of food‑grade powders include ISO 22000, HACCP, and for organic lines, USDA Organic or EU Organic certification. Packaging is generally sized for ocean freight, with 25 kg kraft or polyethylene bags placed on pallets; a full 20 ft container can hold roughly 800 kg of powder, while a 40 ft container can accommodate about 1 600 kg. Incoterms most often used are FOB Surat or CIF destination ports, allowing buyers to arrange import customs clearance and further distribution.

Sourcing from VED INTERNATIONAL - Buyer Guidance

When sourcing from VED INTERNATIONAL, buyers should request a recent Certificate of Analysis (CoA) that details moisture, particle size, microbial limits and any pesticide residue results for the specific powder. For organic‑labelled items, an up‑to‑date organic certification (e.g., USDA Organic) and a traceability document confirming the origin of the raw fruit are essential. Buyers are advised to obtain a sample batch, preferably a 5 kg trial, and verify that the sample matches the CoA specifications before confirming larger orders. Verify that the supplier can provide the required phytosanitary certificate and a full customs invoice that lists the correct HS code, as mismatched codes are a common source of shipment delays. Confirm packaging material (e.g., food‑grade polyethylene bags with inner liner) and whether the product will be palletised for ocean freight, as this impacts handling and storage at the destination.
