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.

Price Influencing Factors
Turkey is the world's largest raisin exporter (Aegean sultanas), with Iran and the USA (California Thompson) also major. India is a competitive lower-cost producer with strength in green and golden seedless grades and growing organic supply, serving the Gulf, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.

Primary Supply Origins
Turkey
~25โ30% of global exportsWorld's largest raisin exporter โ Aegean sultanas.
Iran
~15% of global exportsMajor sultana and green raisin supplier.
India
Large producer, growing exporterSangli, Nashik, Vijayapura clusters โ competitive green/golden grades.
Key Consumption Nodes
Middle East โ UAE, Saudi, Kuwait, Qatar
Major import hub; strong snacking, gifting, and Ramadan demand for golden, green, and Manuka grades.
South & Southeast Asia
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and SE Asia drive bakery, snacking, and cooking demand for Indian seedless raisins.
EU & UK
Bakery, cereal, and clean-label snacking demand; rising organic and natural sun-dried preference.
Raisins are the largest dried-fruit commodity by volume. India is a genuine producing origin rather than a re-exporter, giving it cost, traceability, and organic-supply advantages in green and golden seedless grades.
Market Size
Global raisin trade: ~$2.5โ3B. India's raisin production: ~1.5โ2 lakh MT annually with a growing export share.
Growth Rate
~5โ6% CAGR โ driven by healthy snacking, bakery, and clean-label demand
Core Demand Drivers
Supply Dynamics
Global supply is led by Turkey, Iran, the USA, and India. Indian supply is concentrated in the FebโApr drying season in Maharashtra and Karnataka; output and quality hinge on weather during drying. India's lower production cost makes it price-competitive in green and golden seedless grades.
โ India Risk Factor
Unseasonal rain during the grape-drying window is the primary risk โ wet weather causes sugaring, mould, and colour loss. SO2 compliance for golden grades and EU MRL pesticide limits require disciplined treatment and NABL testing. Climate-controlled drying and grading mitigate these risks.
Future Outlook
Organic and SO2-free natural raisins are the highest-growth segment for EU and clean-label buyers. Value-added formats (jumbo Manuka, flavoured, chocolate-coated, bakery-ready) and branded retail packing for the Gulf and diaspora markets offer the strongest margin upside for Indian exporters.
