About Spring Onion
Spring onion (Allium fistulosum), also called scallion, Welsh onion, or Chinese onion, is a perennial bulbless onion variety grown for its long, tender green shoots and mild white base. Unlike storage onions (which form large bulbs), spring onion is harvested immature — at 30–45 days — for the tender stalk. India grows spring onion widely across Maharashtra, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu with year-round availability through succession planting. The crop is highly perishable and requires rapid reefer logistics to preserve crispness.
South Asia is the primary market for spring onion, with Bangladesh, Nepal, and the Middle East driving most export volumes. India's export of spring onion is modest (~3–5K MT annually) compared to cabbage and other fresh vegetables, but the crop commands strong regional demand for culinary and medicinal use. Like spinach, spring onion is 90%+ water content and deteriorates rapidly without cold chain.
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 spring onion exceeds the quality expectations of USA importers and adheres to all local regulatory mandates.

What Drives Spring Onion Pricing
Before quoting USA buyers, we track the same factors that move global spring onion FOB rates:
- Harvest season — year-round availability but supply peaks in post-monsoon months (Oct–Feb)
- Cold-chain availability and reefer freight — critical cost variable; warm-season freight more expensive
- Domestic demand and mandi prices — local festivals can divert supply and raise prices
- Bundle size and crispness — premium bunches with full turgidity command premiums
- Competition from local regional producers — price-sensitive market in South Asia

India vs Thailand & China: Spring Onion Sourcing Comparison
Thailand and China are major spring onion producers and exporters, supplying East Asia and increasingly Southeast Asia. India competes on price and proximity to South Asian and Middle Eastern markets, not on year-round export positioning.
