The principal export trade comprises commodities like foodgrains, grapes, vegetables, milk, oil-seeds, molasses, hemp, hand­loom cloth, silk cloth, copper, brass and silver vessels, onions, potatoes, garlic, betel-leaves, timber, and other forest produce. Cotton and silk cloth manufactured at Malegaon and Yeola is exported to Bombay, Poona, Satara and other places. Copper, brass and silver vessels are mainly manufactured at Nasik and are sent chiefly to Bombay and Poona. Nasik vessels are famous all over Western Maharashtra. Onions and garlic are exported not only to other parts of India but even to foreign countries like Burma and Ceylon. The onions produced at Nasik, Lasalgaon and Niphad have earned a very high reputation in the domain of agricultural trade. Betel-leaves grown chiefly in Sinnar taluka are also exported in considerable quantity. Vegetables are sent daily from Nasik and Niphad areas to Greater Bombay. A number of trucks loaded with green vegetables, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, and onion are booked daily for Bombay.

The Nasik grapes, famous for their exhilarating taste and rich flavour, are relished by the people all over India, and are highly in demand. This fruit which is a table fruit of the rich and a dream of the poor is exported to Bombay, Thana, Kalyan, Dhulia, Jalgaon, Aurangabad, etc.

Sugar and gur, which are manufactured on a very large scale in the district, are exported to Bombay, Thana and Kolaba districts. The spurt in prices of these scarce commodities has brought prosperity to this trade.

Bajri occupies the first place among the crops in the district accounting for about 36 per cent of the gross cropped area. In fact, Nasik has about one-fifth of the total cultivation and production of bajri in the State. Naturally it figures as a very important item of wholesale trade in the district. It is exported mainly to Bombay and Thana areas.
