Bananas are among the most widely consumed fruits in the world, and India is one of the leading producers and exporters. Indian bananas are prized for their natural sweetness, firm texture, and year-round availability. Cultivated under favorable tropical conditions, they are harvested at the right maturity stage, carefully graded, and hygienically packed to preserve freshness during long-distance transport. Indian bananas are exported globally for fresh consumption as well as for processing into chips, purees, and baby food.
