Guava Exports — Fresh, IQF & Pulp with Cold Chain Integrity
We export pink & white guava with careful orchard practices, residue compliance, and controlled logistics — for supermarkets and processing industries across Europe, Middle East & Asia.
What We Export
We supply Indian guava in fresh form (pink & white flesh) and processed forms (IQF, pulp/puree). Fresh grades follow tight size & maturity indexing to balance shelf life and brix. Processing lines use hygienic cutting, blanching (as required) and rapid freezing to lock flavour and colour.
- Maturity index by skin colour, brix and firmness; field heat removal within 6 hours.
- Pre-cooling (8–10°C typical) and reefer stuffing; humidity management to reduce shrivel.
- MRL checks at accredited labs for EU/UK and GCC norms; batch-wise COA for pulp/IQF.
- Packaging: 3–5 kg ventilated cartons with fruit liners; IQF in food-grade poly-lined cartons.

Reducing Problems at Orchard & Packhouse
We mitigate quality loss where it starts — in the field and at the packhouse — to protect shelf life and regulatory compliance.
1) Residue & MRL Compliance
- Spray schedule aligned to pre-harvest interval (PHI).
- Lot-wise residue testing for EU/GCC shipments.
- Advisories to avoid non-permitted actives.
2) Post-Harvest Decay & Bruising
- Gentle harvesting; field crates, no gunny bags.
- Hot water dip (as program requires) & antifungal wash.
- Pre-cooling and firm temperature control in transit.
3) Size & Maturity Uniformity
- Block/colour picking to ensure uniform ripening.
- Calibrated graders; remove undersized/overripe fruit.
- Program-specific brix & firmness targets.
4) Packaging & Handling
- 3–5 kg cartons with fruit liners & ventilation holes.
- Stack patterns to avoid compression & top-load damage.
- Temperature loggers and photo reports at stuffing.
5) Processing Hygiene (IQF/Pulp)
- Sanitised cutting, blanching (if required), rapid freezing.
- Metal detection & sieve; microbiological checks.
- Batch COA with brix, acidity & micro parameters.
6) Documentation & Traceability
- Orchard/lot codes carried onto carton labels.
- COA for processed lots; residue reports for fresh exports.
- PI/Invoice/Packing List/COO; phyto certificate as applicable.
Seasonal Availability & Variety Mix
Indian guava typically has two strong flushes — monsoon and winter — enabling steady programs. We plan picks by colour stage and shipping window.
