Some important export markets for kinnow are: Iran, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Afghanistan, Netherlands, Philippines, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Russia and Vietnam.

Coating kinnow fruits with commercial waxes can increase the shelf life up to 60 days.

Human hands can better judge and avoid product with soft spots, dull and faded coloring or rough and bumpy skin.
