Nashik — with its fertile soils, year-round harvest cycles, and the bustling Lasalgaon market — has become the backbone of India’s onion exports. Ramdoot Global sources premium Nashik onions directly from farmers and supplies them to FMCG chains, wholesalers, and importers across the globe. It is also one of the largest Onion Export hubs of India.
Read on for export trends, top importing FMCG markets, a 5-year production and export chart, and how we can help you secure consistent, high-quality onion supplies.
🌾 Why Nashik is the Onion Capital
Nashik district in Maharashtra benefits from volcanic black soil, advanced irrigation, and multiple growing cycles — producing onions with excellent size, skin integrity, and shelf life.
These characteristics make Nashik onions ideal for long-distance shipping and for markets with high quality standards.
The district is home to Lasalgaon APMC, one of the largest onion markets in Asia, where thousands of tonnes change hands daily. The local supply chain — from farmer cooperatives to cold-storage and trader networks — ensures steady volume and consistent quality for exporters like Ramdoot Global.
