Your Easy Guide to Premium Rajasthan Garlic: Quality, Varieties, and Export Basics
Are you an international buyer looking for great garlic? Where garlic comes from really changes how it tastes and how long it lasts. Rajasthan, a state in India, grows special garlic. It stands out because of its unique qualities. This makes it a top choice for buyers worldwide.
This guide answers common questions about getting high-quality garlic from Rajasthan. We'll cover its special features, how it's grown, export rules, and how Arovan Global makes sure you get the best product.
What Makes Rajasthan's Garlic So Special?
Rajasthan's unique climate and soil create perfect conditions for growing garlic. This gives it some great features:
- Strong Taste and Pungency: People love Rajasthan garlic for its bold, sharp flavor. This strong taste is highly wanted in many international dishes. It adds a rich garlic punch.
- Stays Fresh Longer: The dry weather during growing and careful drying after harvest helps Rajasthan garlic last a long time. If stored correctly (around 0-1°C with 60-70% humidity), it can stay fresh for 8 to 10 months. This is great for long shipping trips and storage.
- Firm Bulbs: You'll find firm, solid garlic bulbs. Their outer skins are tight. This protects them well during handling and shipping.
- Perfect Growing Conditions: Rajasthan has cool, moist winters for growth and warm, dry summers for ripening. This climate is ideal for garlic. The soil is also well-drained and rich. This helps the garlic grow strong and healthy.
What Kinds of Garlic Grow Best in Rajasthan for Export?
Several garlic types from Rajasthan are excellent for selling to other countries:
- Yamuna Safed (G-1): This type is very popular. It has large, even, silvery-white bulbs. It tastes strong and stores well. Its bulbs usually have 25-30 cloves.
- Yamuna Safed-2 (G-50): This variety grows a lot. It has solid, attractive white bulbs. It offers a strong flavor and good storage life. Each bulb usually has 35-40 cloves.
- Yamuna Safed-9 (G-386): This garlic has solid bulbs with light purple skin and creamy white insides. It has good pungency and grows well in the area.
- Local Desi Varieties: Many strong local types are grown by experienced farmers. They are tough and fit the local conditions well. This gives them a special flavor and good quality.
How Do We Check and Grade Garlic for Export?
We follow strict steps to make sure you get the exact quality you need:
- Size: We sort garlic by how wide the bulb is. Common export sizes are 35mm to 55mm and larger. All garlic in a shipment will be a consistent size. This helps with packaging and looks good for buyers.
- Color: The garlic will be bright white or pinkish-white. This is normal for Rajasthan varieties. The color should be even, with no spots.
- Pungency: Rajasthan garlic is known for its medium to strong taste. This strong flavor will be the same throughout your order.
- Condition: Top-quality export garlic must be:
- Firm and Solid: No soft spots, hollow areas, or too much moisture.
- Clean: Free from dirt or other unwanted material.
- Well-Dried: The outer skins are dry. This protects the inner cloves and stops them from sprouting or getting moldy too soon.
- No Flaws: No sprouts, bruises, cuts, cracks, mold, or bugs.
- Skin Intact: The papery outer layers should be mostly whole. This keeps the cloves safe.
What Are the Best Ways to Package Garlic for Export?
Good packaging keeps garlic fresh during travel. Here are the common and most effective ways we pack fresh garlic from Rajasthan:
- Mesh Bags: We prefer these because they let air flow well. This stops moisture buildup and spoilage.
- Common Sizes: 10 kg, 25 kg, 50 kg.
- Jute Bags: Like mesh bags, these allow good airflow. They are also a natural, eco-friendly choice.
- Common Sizes: 10 kg, 25 kg, 50 kg.
- Carton Boxes: Sometimes used for smaller packs ready for stores. These boxes often have holes for air.
These options help keep the garlic fresh and protected from our farm to your door.
What Official Papers and Rules Are Needed for Garlic Export from India?
Following international food safety and farm rules is a must. Here are the main ones:
- Phytosanitary Certificate (PSC): This is a required paper from India's National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO). It proves the garlic has been checked. It shows it's free from pests and diseases. This meets your country's plant health rules.
- FSSAI License: The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) license is important for food businesses in India. It makes sure we follow local food safety rules. Arovan Global will have this license in the next 2 weeks.
- Safe Chemical Limits (MRLs): We make sure our garlic meets the safe limits for chemicals set by your country. We can also get outside lab tests to confirm this.
