FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about sourcing grapes from Aethon Overseas.

The primary export season for Indian grapes is from January to April. The peak quality, characterized by optimal bunch weight and sugar levels, is usually achieved during the month of March.

Grapes are highly perishable and require a strict cold chain. They are pre-cooled immediately after harvest and shipped in reefer containers at 0°C to 1°C with 90-95% relative humidity to prevent dehydration and decay.

We export premium seedless varieties including Thompson Seedless, Sonaka, and Sharad (Black Seedless). Our grapes comply with strict MRL (Maximum Residue Limit) standards required for entry into the EU and UK markets.

Our grapes are typically packed in 4.5kg or 5kg cartons containing 500g punnets or carry bags. When maintained in a consistent cold chain at 0°C, fresh Indian grapes have an export shelf life of 45 to 60 days.
