Dragon Fruit from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Dragon fruit (Pitaya) cultivated in India's semi-arid regions has seen massive
success due to its vibrant appearance, sweet flavor, and high nutritional value.
We supply both white-fleshed and premium red-fleshed varieties. Rich in
antioxidants and vitamin C, our dragon fruits are carefully harvested and packed
to prevent bruising during transit.
Aethon Overseas supplies dragon fruit available as pink skin / white flesh, pink skin / red flesh, yellow skin. 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.
