Pears from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
The high-altitude orchards of Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir yield excellent
quality pears ranging from the soft, buttery European types (like Bartlett) to
the crisp, crunchy Asian varieties. Known locally as Nashpati or Babughusha, our
pears are hand-harvested at precise firmness levels to guarantee a long shelf
life during transit, maturing to perfect sweetness.
Aethon Overseas supplies pears available as nashpati (bartlett-type), bagughusha, patharnakh. 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.
