Fresh Produce Export Business Raising Funds In Nashik

About Business

Agricultural Export Business — Fresh Produce & Agri Products | Active Operations | Open for Investment

This is a running agricultural export business that sources fresh fruits, vegetables, and select processed agri products directly from farms and moves them to buyers in international markets. The business is not a concept - it has shipped, it has repeat buyers, and it is currently handling live orders. The opportunity here is to come in as an investor in something that is already in motion, not something being built from scratch.

Products Handled

The core product range covers around nine product lines, including:

- Onions, pomegranates, green chilies, and tomatoes
- Turmeric, ginger, and moringa-based products
- Select processed agri products based on buyer demand

Beyond just the produce, the business manages the full export cycle - from farm-level procurement to packaging, documentation, and final delivery. Product specifications and packaging can be customized based on what the buyer needs, which has helped in building relationships with diverse buyers across markets.

How the Operations Work

Sourcing is done directly with farmers, which gives the business better control over pricing, quality, and availability. Key operational capabilities include:

- Direct farmer procurement for better cost and supply control
- Shipments handled on both sea and air freight depending on order size and urgency
- End-to-end export management covering logistics, documentation, and handling

The team has built working knowledge across multiple shipment cycles, which is not something that comes easily in the early stages of any export business.

Where the Business Stands Today

- Crossed INR 1 crore in revenue since commencing operations
- Completed multiple export shipments across international markets
- Currently handling 4–5 containers per month with active orders in place
- Repeat buyers established in existing markets

Markets and Buyers

Current supply is going into the Middle East and Southeast Asia. These are not one-off transactions - the business has repeat buyers and ongoing order flow from these regions, which reflects a level of trust and reliability that takes time to establish in international trade.

What Makes This Business Work

The direct farmer relationships are at the core of what makes this setup function. Key strengths include:

- Farm-to-export sourcing that keeps procurement costs manageable
- Hands-on experience navigating exports — handling, compliance, freight, and buyer communication
- Flexibility to adjust product specs and packaging as per buyer requirements
- Established processes built through real shipment experience, not just planning

Growth Plans

The immediate focus is on scaling shipment volume from the current 4–5 containers per month to around 15–20 containers. Beyond that:

- New markets being targeted include Europe and Australia
- Processed and value-added product lines are being explored for better margins
- A broader buyer base is being developed alongside volume growth

The Opportunity

This is not an early-stage pitch or a business plan looking for its first investor. It is a functioning export operation with revenue, shipments, and buyer relationships already in place. For someone looking to participate in the agri export space without the uncertainty of building from zero, this is a meaningful entry point into a business that has already done the hard work of getting started.

Clientele type

The business caters to a mix of B2B buyers across international markets.

- Importers and distributors
- Wholesale traders
- Supermarket and retail supply chains
- Food processing companies

Key markets served include:

- UAE (Dubai – Jebel Ali)
- Malaysia (Port Klang)
