Pineapple from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
Indian pineapples, particularly those grown in the lush tropical climates of
Kerala and Northeast India, are cherished for their golden-yellow flesh,
enchanting aroma, and perfect balance of tartness and sugar. We export the
large, robust 'Kew' variety (ideal for slices and canning) and the smaller,
intensely sweet 'Queen' variety.
Aethon Overseas supplies pineapple available as kew variety, queen variety, md-2. 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.
