AVI Global Plast has been awarded for Excellence by Sahyadri Farms Post Harvest Care Ltd—India’s largest grape exporter—recognising its role in supporting high-performance packaging across global fresh produce supply chains.
The recognition reflects AVI’s contribution to export-oriented packaging systems where performance is evaluated beyond the packhouse—across pre-cooling, palletisation, long-haul transit, and retail display.
In fresh produce exports, particularly grapes, packaging directly influences product quality at destination. Minor inefficiencies in ventilation, stacking strength, or pack stability can lead to condensation, compression damage, and inconsistent presentation—often resulting in shrinkage, rejections, or reduced shelf appeal in international markets. AVI’s solutions are designed to address these variables, enabling exporters to move high-value produce with greater consistency and confidence.
The award highlights AVI’s role as a packaging partner aligned with real-world operational demands. Its rigid PET punnets are engineered for structural integrity, controlled airflow, and compatibility with automated handling systems—supporting efficient processing while maintaining product protection across multiple touchpoints.
“This recognition reflects the strength of our partnership and our shared focus on delivering quality at scale,” said Akhilesh Bhargava. “Our focus continues to be on enabling customers with packaging that performs consistently across supply chains, not just in controlled conditions.”
As a vertically integrated manufacturer, AVI Global Plast maintains control across key stages—material selection, sheet extrusion, tooling, and thermoforming—allowing for tighter quality consistency and faster response to application-specific requirements. This becomes especially relevant for exporters operating across diverse geographies, where handling conditions, climate, and retail expectations vary significantly.
Alongside performance, packaging is increasingly required to meet sustainability and regulatory expectations in global markets. AVI supports this through recyclable and recycled PET formats, backed by traceability systems that provide visibility into material sourcing and recycled content—an important consideration for international buyers.
The recognition from Sahyadri Farms Post Harvest Care Ltd reinforces the value of close collaboration between exporters and packaging partners. As fresh produce supply chains become more complex, packaging continues to evolve—from a passive container to an active contributor to product quality, operational efficiency, and market success.
