Fresh Bananas from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
India is the world's largest producer of bananas. We export premium quality
Robusta (Cavendish-type) and Grand Naine varieties globally. Known for their
spotless green skin at shipping (turning bright yellow upon ripening), sweet
flavor, and excellent shelf-life, our bananas undergo strict post-harvest
washing, fungicide treatment, and cold-chain management.
Aethon Overseas supplies fresh bananas available as robusta / cavendish, grand naine, yelakki / elaichi, nendran. From trial samples to multi-container annual contracts, every lot is cleaned, graded and quality-checked before shipment — with a Certificate of Analysis, phytosanitary certificate and full export documentation included.
