Supplier to USA

About Raisins
Raisins are dried grapes, and unlike most premium dry fruits where India is primarily an importer, India is a genuine large-scale PRODUCER and exporter. The Indian raisin industry is centred in Sangli and Nashik in Maharashtra and Vijayapura (Bijapur) in Karnataka, where Thompson Seedless grapes are sun- or shade-dried into a range of commercial colours and grades.
Indian raisins are produced in several distinct types: golden/yellow (treated and shade-dried for a bright colour), green (Sultana-style, the most popular export type), brown (sun-dried), black (Black Corinth / currant-style), and long green Manuka raisins (large, premium, seeded-type). India's warm climate and established drying clusters allow it to supply competitively priced, naturally seedless raisins year-round.
As a domestic-origin product, Indian raisins carry full traceability from grape farms to packing, competitive FOB pricing, and growing organic certification. India competes directly with Turkey, Iran, and the USA in the global dried-grape trade, with particular strength in green and golden seedless grades for the Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asian bakery and snacking markets.
Compliance & Quality Standards for USA
The United States is India's largest agricultural export destination, importing over $8 billion in agri-commodities annually. All food shipments must comply with U.S. FDA food safety standards under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), including Prior Notice submission to the FDA before cargo arrives at a U.S. port. IndianXporter manages all FSMA paperwork including Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP), Foreign Supplier Verification, and FDA Facility Registration for each exporting unit. USDA-regulated products such as plant material and certain grains require USDA-APHIS phytosanitary clearance. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) mandates a valid Importer Security Filing (ISF/10+2) at least 24 hours before loading. We also support HS code classification, customs bond arrangements, and anti-dumping duty (ADD) disclosures where applicable. At IndianXporter, we ensure every batch of raisins exceeds the quality expectations of USA importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.

What Drives Raisins Pricing
Before quoting USA buyers, we track the same factors that move global raisins FOB rates:
- Maharashtra/Karnataka grape harvest — yields in Sangli, Nashik, and Vijayapura set domestic raisin supply and FOB levels
- Monsoon timing — unseasonal rain during the drying window (Feb–Apr) damages crop and spikes prices
- Turkey and Iran competition — sultana FOB from rival origins anchors global green-raisin pricing
- SO2 compliance and colour — golden grades carry a premium tied to treatment cost and EU sulphur limits
- USD/INR exchange rate — affects FOB competitiveness against Turkish lira and Iranian rial pricing
