Minimum Order Quantity for Dehydrated Onion: Pallets, LCL and Full Containers Explained
A supplier's minimum tells you more about the supplier than about the onion. What a pallet, an LCL shipment and a container hold for each cut, why plants want containers and exporters accept pallets, landed cost per kilo from one pallet to a 40 foot box, mixed pallets, samples, sizing a first order, and when a European stockist is the better answer.
Around 120 dehydration plants within 30 kilometres of a coastal Gujarat town supply most of the dehydrated onion the world imports. How Mahuva became the hub, how its plants, exporters, brokers and laboratories fit together, the white onion belt and its March to May harvest, Pipavav and the road to Europe, and what a buyer in Hamburg should know about the place behind the bag.
How to Read a Dehydrated Onion Specification Sheet: Moisture, Mesh, Micro and Defects
A specification is the promise, a certificate of analysis is the evidence, and a sheet that says "conforms" is neither. Every line of a dehydrated onion specification explained with typical values, methods and the wording that a supplier cannot read two ways: moisture, ash, particle size, colour, defects, sulphites, residues, metals, ethylene oxide, microbiology tiers, statements, packaging, plus a full template.
White vs Red Dehydrated Onion: Flavour, Colour, Uses and Price Differences
White onion is the mild, pale export standard; red onion is sharper, sweeter, keeps its purple skin fragments in flakes and chopped and costs 10 to 25 percent more. Which colour to specify by product type, how red behaves in each cut and after cooking, price and availability through the year, the five specification lines that differ, pink onion, and blends that get the effect for less.
Dehydrated Onion Price per kg: What Drives It and How to Read a Quote
Eight to nine kilos of fresh onion make one kilo of dry product, so the field price times that ratio is most of the bag. The cost stack from plant gate to FOB port with January 2026 figures, the four drivers that move it, the seasonal pattern, premiums by cut and tier, how to read a quote line by line, and a worked landed cost.
Flakes, Chopped, Minced, Granules or Powder: Which Dehydrated Onion Cut Do You Need?
Flakes 8-20 mm, chopped 3-5 mm, minced 1-3 mm, granules 0.5-1 mm, powder 80-100 mesh: the same dried onion, five particle sizes. Which one you need depends on whether onion must be visible and how long the product cooks. Size bands, rehydration ratios by cut, a decision table by application, price and freight per cut, and specification wording a supplier cannot misread.
How to Import Dehydrated Onion from India: Step by Step for First-Time Buyers
Ten decisions in the right order take a food business from wanting Indian prices to a pallet or container on its own floor: the one-page spec, the questions that expose a trader, sampling in your own process, Incoterms, price locks and payment terms, Pipavav to Hamburg, the EU document set and duty, and a worked landed cost per kilo.
