How Global Exim Sources Finds Agro Buyers in GCC Using Vujis

By Vujis Editorial Team β€’ December 10, 2025 β€’ 8 min read

Dr. Koteswara Rao, founder of Global Exim Sources and Global Exim Institute, is a well-known name in India's export–import community. His organisation imports fresh fruit into India and exports agro-commodities to GCC markets, with a strong focus on the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman.

He handles a wide range of agricultural products, including:

Vegetables:

Onion, Green Chilli, Vellary, Red Pumpkin, Drumsticks, Fresh Turmeric, Ginger, Raw Papaya

Fruits:

Pomegranate, Banana, Mango, Watermelon, Muskmelon, Papaya

Agro-Commodities / Staples:

Rice, Sugar, Flour, Chickpeas

Across all these categories, market research and verified buyer data are the core of his business.

For years, Dr. Rao used traditional trade-data tools β€” including Volza β€” for HS-code research and export market analysis. But he consistently faced the same limitations: outdated data, missing buyer contact details, and no simple way to verify genuine importers.

That changed when he discovered Vujis.

Why Dr. Rao Switched to Vujis

When Dr. Rao tested Vujis, he immediately identified key improvements:

1. More accurate and up-to-date buyer data

He could finally see which countries were actively importing onions, turmeric, chickpeas, mangoes, bananas, and other agro products right now, not months ago.

2. Direct buyer contact information

Vujis showed verified email IDs, phone numbers, and shipment history β€” something he couldn't find consistently on other platforms.

3. Built-in outreach tools

With one click, he could draft and send outreach messages directly to importers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and other GCC markets.

4. Better visibility for his students and trainees

As an educator, he needed a platform he could demonstrate live β€” something that made students say: "Oh, I can actually start exporting with this."

"Vujis is one of the best platforms with the latest updates and technology. Unlike other sites, you get direct email IDs and phone numbers. You can even draft a letter and reach out instantly. We use it regularly and we've seen results."

How Dr. Rao Uses Vujis in His Export Seminars and Training Programs

At the Global Exim Institute, Dr. Rao trains hundreds of beginner and intermediate exporters on how to enter new markets.

Vujis has become a core part of his curriculum.

During live workshops, he uses Vujis to demonstrate:

  • How to research which countries import onions, turmeric, rice, ginger, or mangoes
  • How to identify high-potential GCC markets
  • How to check shipment history to verify genuine buyers
  • How to avoid fake buyers by checking import patterns
  • How to contact verified importers directly through the platform
  • How to draft a professional outreach email inside Vujis
  • How to compare markets before deciding where to export

For new exporters who feel overwhelmed by data, seeing Vujis in action instantly gives them clarity:

"Here are the buyers. Here's what they import. Here's how you contact them."

This is exactly what exporters need to gain confidence.
