Ber from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Known as the 'Indian Jujube' or 'Plum of the Arid Zone', Ber is an incredibly
hardy fruit thriving in India's dry states. With a texture resembling a crisp
apple and a flavor oscillating between sweet and tart, it is highly popular
among South Asian and Middle Eastern diaspora markets. Our export-grade Umran
variety boasts a large size, golden-yellow/red hue, and fantastic crunch.
Aethon Overseas supplies ber available as umran, gola, sanaur 5. 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.
