Ukraine active on powder; EU buyers specification-led
European dehydrated onion volume from India is smaller than Asia or the Americas, and Ukraine is currently the most active single buyer country on this product. EU importers typically buy CIF North Europe or FOB India and are the most specification-led buyers we see — residue scope, processing factors and documentation get settled before production rather than at discharge.

EU residue compliance
EU Regulation (EC) No 396/2005 establishes maximum residue levels (MRLs) for pesticides. Drying can concentrate residues, so a fresh-commodity result cannot simply be assumed to apply unchanged to the dried product — processing factors and importer compliance responsibilities need to be considered for dehydrated onion and garlic specifically.
This is general information, not legal advice. Confirm the applicable requirements with your own importer or QA team before production. Read the full note on processing factors.

FAQ
Can you quote Europe destinations?
Yes. We are an APEDA- and FSSAI-registered exporter based in Pune, currently building our first international shipments, so we quote rather than claim past sailings on this lane. Name the discharge port and we come back with FOB India or CIF that port. Fresh vs dehydrated depends on transit time.
Which products fit this region?
Both fresh (reefer) and dehydrated (dry container) can be quoted; specs follow buyer and EU food rules.
What is a typical India load port?
India load port plus EU discharge named on the quote (Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg, and others).
