RAISINS

Our facility is the leader & pivotal cornerstone in the history of processing Indian Raisins. Here are some facts about our history with Raisins in India: -

Mid 1980s – Indian farmers in Maharashtra were using fallen / unripe grapes for raisin processing, production was less them 100mt

1988: - We entered the Indian raisins business, personally visiting farmers & processors providing guidance & support.

We undertook sales guarantees and signed a 200mt single contract, this project was supported by state government. We encouraged Indian farmers to use advanced grape drying technology for better quality, soon production reached 1000mt

Regency played a crucial role in the development of the Indian Raisins industry in the 80’s and 90’s.

2002:- Raisins produced In Maharashtra is exempted from VAT

Now: - Production has crossed 150,000mt

Our long lasting relationships we share with are instrumental in sourcing the finest quality of Raisins. But above all it is our passion for Raisins & its extensive benefits that drives us towards excellence. Our Raisins, sun-dried Thomson Seedless Raisins, are sweetly flavored with a wrinkled texture and are available in different sizes and colors

Today Maharashtra accounts for nearly 75% of total production and the highest productivity in the country. Regency, based in Mumbai, the capital of Maharashtra, is ideally located to procure, control and export Indian Raisins.
