Import Apples — Buy in wholesale FOB from Supplier in India

Fresh whole apples from SK Green Earth are available as a bulk consignment of table fruit, offered in export-grade cartons with cold chain logistics support for international distribution. The supplier lists Gala, Fuji, Red Delicious, and Granny Smith as available varieties, with fruit sourced from major producing regions across India for retail and food processing applications. The apples are presented as meeting international food safety standards, though buyers should verify specific certification claims directly.

The fruit is marketed as fresh whole apple, with hand-picking at maturity implied by standard export practice though not explicitly stated by this supplier. Typical export-grade Indian apples for international trade are sorted by diameter into grades of 65 mm, 70 mm, 75 mm, and 80 mm, with standard carton weights of 10 kg or 18 kg net. Ventilated corrugated cartons with divider trays are standard for long-haul shipment, with individual fruit wrapping in tissue or net sock to prevent bruising and moisture accumulation during transit.

Primary buyers include supermarket chains, fresh produce importers, and food processors requiring consistent supply of dessert apples for retail shelves or ingredient use. The supplier operates from Kharagpur in West Bengal, a state not among India’s top apple-producing regions, so buyers should clarify sourcing arrangements and whether fruit is procured from Himachal Pradesh, Kashmir, or Uttarakhand growing areas. Cold chain maintenance from orchard to port is critical for starch index retention and firmness; buyers should confirm temperature logging protocols and pre-cooling procedures before committing.

SK Green Earth is headquartered in Kharagpur, West Bengal, India (PIN 721301), operating as a harbor-tier supplier on the platform with a response rate of 0.00% and no recorded average response hours. The supplier profile does not indicate verification of trade credentials, production capacity, or years in operation, leaving significant gaps that buyers must address through direct inquiry. The listing emphasises export-oriented fresh apple supply with cold chain logistics, though the West Bengal location suggests the company may act as a trader or consolidator rather than direct grower.

The supplier’s custom specification mentions international food safety and quality standards without naming specific certifications or audit schemes. No factory, orchard, or packing house details are provided, nor is there disclosure of annual export volume, client references, or trade show participation. Buyers should request evidence of phytosanitary registration, export licence status, and any APEDA (Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority) accreditation before advancing negotiations.
