Amla

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for Amla?

Our standard MOQ for Amla is 1 Metric Ton. However, we can accommodate smaller trial orders (500-1000 kg) or mixed container shipments (LCL) for new B2B partners seeking to evaluate our quality. For bulk orders exceeding 10 metric tons, special pricing and scheduling options are available.

Q: What is the vitamin C content in your Amla and how is it preserved?

Our premium amla contains 445-900 mg vitamin C per 100g, among the highest of any fruit. Post-harvest, fruits are rapidly cooled to 4-5°C within 6 hours of harvest to preserve nutrient content and cellular integrity. Cold-chain management throughout storage and transit minimizes nutrient degradation. Laboratory-confirmed vitamin C content provided with each shipment.

Q: Do you provide samples and laboratory reports for Amla?

Yes, we provide pre-shipment samples (5-10 kg) and comprehensive laboratory testing reports from accredited third-party laboratories. Testing includes vitamin C analysis (HPLC), antioxidant profiling (ORAC), microbiological testing, pesticide residue screening, heavy metal analysis, and nutrient composition verification. Full food safety documentation included.

Q: What are the export logistics and lead times for bulk orders?

We primarily ship through Nhava Sheva (Mumbai) and Mundra ports using FOB, CIF, or CFR terms. Standard lead time for Amla is 15-25 business days from receipt of Advance Payment or confirmed L/C. For time-sensitive orders, we offer expedited processing (10-15 days) with refrigerated container shipping to preserve quality and freshness.

Q: Can you supply organic or specific grade Amla?

Yes, we supply both conventional and organic-certified amla in multiple grades. Premium Grade A (defect-free), Grade B (minor surface defects), and processing-grade available. Organic certification (USDA/EU) available with premium pricing and lead-time adjustments. Minimum organic order: 2 metric tons. Custom sizing and ripeness specifications accommodated upon request.

Q: What is the shelf life and best storage conditions?

Fresh amla has 12-14 days shelf life at ambient temperature (20-25°C), extending to 30-45 days in cold storage (4°C with 90-95% relative humidity). For extended preservation, we offer freeze-dried amla powder (24-month shelf life) and concentrated juice (18-month shelf life). All forms maintain high nutrient retention when properly stored.

What is Amla?

Amla (Phyllanthus emblica), known as Indian Gooseberry or Amalaki, is among the world's most nutrient-dense fruits, containing 445-900 mg Vitamin C per 100g — 20-30 times that of citrus — along with powerful antioxidants, tannins and polyphenols. Native to India and revered for over 3,000 years in Ayurveda, amla holds a central place as a rasayana (rejuvenative) and is a cornerstone of immunity, digestive and hair-care formulations.

India is the world's dominant amla producer (~80,000-90,000 MT annually), cultivated primarily in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat. The tart, light-green to golden-yellow fruit is harvested September-December and exported fresh (cold-chain), or processed into juice, powder, candy and supplement extracts. The global wellness and nutraceutical boom has transformed amla from a regional Ayurvedic staple into a premium superfruit, with fresh exports commanding 50-80% premiums over processed forms in health-conscious Western and Gulf markets.
