Our mission
To make Indian agricultural produce straightforward to buy from abroad — by taking responsibility for selection, grading, packing and paperwork instead of passing each one to someone else.
About ACube International
We are new. Our standards are not.
ACube International is an export house in Chennai dealing in agricultural commodities. We started because importers kept telling us the same thing: the produce is good, but the people in the middle are not reliable.
Why we exist
India grows it well. Getting it to you is the hard part.
India is among the world’s largest producers of pulses, rice, spices and coconut. For an importer in Dubai, Mombasa or Rotterdam, though, the difficulty was never supply — it was knowing whether the container that arrives will match the sample that was approved.
ACube International was set up to be the party that answers for that. We buy from the mills and mandis ourselves, check the lot physically before it loads, prepare the documents alongside the loading rather than after it, and give you one person to call when something needs to change.
We are a young company and we do not pretend otherwise. What we offer in place of a long history is a short chain of accountability: you are talking to the people who make the decisions.
Based in Egmore, Chennai
Within reach of both Chennai and Tuticorin ports
What drives us
Three commitments, plainly stated.
Our vision
To be the Indian supplier an importer keeps on a shortlist of one — the name they go back to each season because nothing went wrong the last time, and because the answer was honest when it could not be done.
Our promise
We will not ship a lot that does not match the approved sample, and we will tell you about a delay the day we know about it rather than the day the vessel was due.
How we work
Four habits we do not negotiate on.
Buy at the source
We deal with mills, processors and growing-region traders directly, so there is one fewer hand between the crop and your container.
Grade honestly
If a lot is 7% broken, we will quote it as 7% broken. Describing it as 5% to win an order costs more than it earns.
Document properly
Certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate and packing list prepared to the destination’s requirements.
Answer fast
Enquiries get a reply the same working day, in your time zone, from a person who already knows your file.

If a commodity you need is not on our list, ask anyway. Much of what we trade began as a buyer’s request we were willing to go and source.
