Highly coveted across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, Germany, and the UK. Unlike ordinary sun-dried raisins, Emerald Green Raisins are dehydrated strictly inside covered bamboo-and-wire drying sheds under continuous humidity monitoring.

How Samik International Trade transforms farm-gate raisin harvests into zero-defect export commodities under Ajay Bhagat's 20-year quality protocols.
Direct physical lot inspection at Sangli, Tasgaon, Pandharpur, and Solapur mandis. Founder Ajay Bhagat personally evaluates berry stretch, pulpiness, and moisture equilibrium before procurement.
Berries pass through high-speed rotary rubberized destemmers that dislodge capstems without tearing delicate skin, followed by gentle air aspirators removing dust and fine chaff.
High-resolution cameras examine each berry at 1,000 fps. Discolored, undersized, or insect-damaged berries are ejected via pneumatic micro-nozzles with 99.5% accuracy.
Batches are tested for moisture, pesticide residues (< MRL limits), and sulfur ppm. Sealed into telescopic food-grade boxes and stuffed into containers at JNPT Nhava Sheva (Mumbai).
Engineered corrugated cartoning with moisture-barrier blue polyethylene liners to ensure your cargo arrives in peak condition.
