GI-protected product
Sourced from Tamil Nadu and Kerala, India’s leading banana-growing states.
Why source this product from India
- Tamil Nadu is India’s dominant banana-growing state and where banana-leaf exporters most visibly cluster; Poovan is the cultivar specifically grown for commercial leaf harvest (as distinct from Nendran/Robusta, grown primarily for fruit), with Kerala also significant.
- UAE is the world’s single largest importer of banana leaves — a real, verified trade fact that directly supports the UAE-only positioning of this product.
Sampling
Small bundle sample. Buyer pays courier — extremely time-sensitive.
Fresh leaf shelf life is as short as 1 day at ambient temperature — sample dispatch is tightly coordinated with the buyer, or ask about the dried/heat-treated form for a standard-timeline sample.

Frequently asked about Banana Leaf
Which INCOTERMS does Darsavio EXIM offer?
We quote FOB (Free On Board) at any Indian port, CIF (Cost-Insurance-Freight) to most destination ports worldwide, and DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) to selected destinations subject to feasibility check. EXW (Ex Works) is available on request. INCOTERMS 2020 rules apply and are locked in writing on the proforma.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for export from India?
MOQ depends on category. Rice and spices: typically 1 × 20-ft FOB container (~25 MT for rice). Pharma raw and nutraceuticals: 50 kg starter quantity for sample, scaling to drum quantities. Electronics, fashion, handicrafts: mixed-container loading available, lower MOQs negotiated case by case. Send your spec; we quote both the MOQ and the next price break.
What payment terms do you accept for first-time buyers?
For first-time buyers we accept 30% advance TT against PI and 70% against BL copy, or 100% Letter of Credit (LC) at sight from a confirmed bank. Repeat buyers move to negotiated open-account terms after 3 successful shipments. AD-Bank realisation is documented within the FEMA statutory window on every transaction.
Which Indian ports does Darsavio EXIM ship from?
JNPT (Nhava Sheva), Mundra, and Kandla for the western coast; Kochi and Chennai for southern routes; Kolkata and Visakhapatnam for the east.
