If you are a food manufacturer, distributor, or wholesaler looking to buy dehydrated vegetables in bulk, India is probably already on your radar. The country has the farmland, the processing capacity, and the export infrastructure to deliver consistent product at scale. But knowing where to start can be overwhelming if it is your first time importing from here. We put together this walkthrough based on what our buyers typically ask.
The Most Popular Products
The products our buyers order the most are onion powder, garlic powder, tomato powder, ginger powder, and turmeric. Beyond powders, there is also steady demand for onion flakes, garlic flakes, tomato flakes, and dried ginger in sliced or diced form. Most of these ship in 25 kg bags and are available for both trial and bulk orders.
Why India Works for Most Buyers
India gives you scale, variety, and pricing that is hard to beat. Gujarat and Maharashtra are the big production hubs for onion and garlic, while ginger comes primarily from Kerala and the northeast. Dehydrated vegetable processing here is done in FSSAI and ISO 22000 certified facilities, which matters a lot if you are selling into the EU, Middle East, or the US. You also get the benefit of working with suppliers who are used to dealing with international documentation and shipping requirements.
Checking Quality and Certifications
Before you commit to any supplier, ask for their FSSAI registration, ISO 22000 certificate, and APEDA registration. These are not optional extras. They are the baseline for any supplier that takes export seriously. Request lab reports for every product you are considering. Check moisture, mesh size where applicable, and confirm the origin. We supply to over 25 countries and share full documentation upfront. You can see our certifications anytime.
Getting Your Specs Right
For powders, the two things you absolutely need to specify are mesh size (40 to 80 is standard) and moisture content (under 6 percent for most powders). Also tell the supplier whether you want standard 25 kg bags or custom packaging with your own label. If you share your volume and timeline early, it helps us plan production and give you an accurate quote and delivery date.
Placing Your First Order
Tell us the product you want, the quantity, and your packaging preference. We will send you a quote and can also arrange a sample so you can test it in your own product before committing to a full shipment. Reach out to us for a quote on onion powder, garlic powder, tomato powder, or any other dehydrated vegetable. We reply quickly and are transparent about pricing and lead times.
