Where your supplier is located matters more than buyers often realise. Being close to production means fresher goods, easier quality control and lower inland costs; being close to ports means faster, cheaper shipping. Gujarat — and Rajkot in particular — sits at the intersection of all three. It's why Overseas is based here.
An agricultural heartland
Gujarat and the wider region are major producers of groundnut (peanut), onion, garlic and other crops, with an established ecosystem of cold storage, dehydration and processing units. For agro buyers, that translates into reliable supply, multiple grades and the ability to process fresh produce into powders and flakes locally.
A manufacturing base, not just farms
- Plastics & packaging: A large processing industry for bags and films.
- Textiles & garments: Part of India's deep apparel supply chain.
- Furniture & engineering: Skilled craftsmanship and workshops.
This diversity is exactly why a single partner here can serve very different product lines.
World-class ports on the doorstep
Gujarat handles a huge share of India's sea-borne trade — and that proximity is money saved on every container.
Major ports including Mundra, Pipavav and Kandla (Deendayal) give exporters fast, well-connected access to global shipping lanes — to the Gulf, Europe, Africa, the Americas and Asia. Shorter inland transport from Rajkot to these ports means lower cost and less handling risk for your goods.
A trade-minded culture
Gujarat has a long, well-earned reputation for entrepreneurship and trade. For overseas buyers, that means working with people who understand exports, communication and the importance of repeat business.
