Garlic Exporter from India
Indian fresh garlic, graded and packed for South Asian and Gulf markets — available on request.
Quick answer: Green Plus EXIM can supply Indian fresh garlic, primarily from Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Rajasthan. This is honestly a smaller export line for India — China dominates world garlic export trade by a wide margin, so Indian garlic volumes are modest. Bangladesh, Malaysia, the UAE, USA and Bhutan are the leading destinations. If your requirement is for larger volumes at scale, our dehydrated onion and garlic powder line (much larger export category for India) is worth considering alongside or instead of fresh garlic.
Indian garlic for export
We can supply fresh Indian garlic, sourced primarily from Madhya Pradesh — India's largest garlic-producing state, centred on the Neemuch–Mandsaur–Ratlam belt — with additional volume from Gujarat and Rajasthan.
An honest note on scale
Fresh garlic is a genuinely small part of India's export trade — the country's total fresh garlic exports run in the single-digit millions of US dollars a year, dwarfed by China's dominant position in world garlic trade. We say this upfront rather than overselling volume or availability: garlic is available from us, priced and supplied against your order, but it isn't a flagship high-volume line the way onion or our dehydrated onion/garlic powder are. If your requirement is for larger, more price-competitive volumes, red onion or a dehydrated garlic powder specification may suit better — ask us to quote both.
How should I specify garlic?
- Size grade. 35–45mm, 45–55mm or 55mm+ bulb diameter are the common export bands.
- Curing. Properly cured garlic with dry outer skin is essential for transit survival, the same principle that applies to onion.

Notes on this data
HIGH CONFIDENCE ON THE NUMBERS, BUT NOTE THE STRATEGIC IMPLICATION — primary-tier (WITS/UN Comtrade), India world total 2024 only USD 6.64M across ~6,041 MT. This is a genuinely SMALL export line (China overwhelmingly dominates world garlic export trade). Recommend NOT building a major blog cluster around fresh garlic; keep it as a product page with honest positioning and route effort toward dehydrated onion/garlic (HS 0712.20, USD 221M) instead, which is where India actually competes at scale.
Indian sourcing regions
Madhya Pradesh (Neemuch, Mandsaur, Ratlam) is India's largest garlic-producing belt, with Gujarat and Rajasthan contributing additional volume. Harvest runs February to April, and cured stock is available through the following several months.

Garlic export FAQs
Honestly, no — not at the scale of onion or dehydrated products. India's total fresh garlic exports run in the single-digit millions of dollars annually, because China dominates world garlic export trade by a very wide margin. We can supply it, but if you're sourcing at meaningful scale, it's worth also looking at our dehydrated onion and garlic powder line, where India competes at real volume.
Primarily local white-to-light-purple garlic from Madhya Pradesh, India's largest producing state, supplemented by Gujarat and Rajasthan supply.
