Pineapple (Ananas) FROM INDIA

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.

Sourced from: Kerala, Goa, West Bengal, Assam, Meghalaya

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Indian pineapples are available almost year-round. While there are peak harvest periods, we can ensure a consistent supply for international markets through our extensive network of growers across different climatic regions in India.
For long-distance export, pineapples are shipped in refrigerated containers at a constant temperature of 7-10°C with 85-90% humidity. We ensure the crowns remain fresh and the fruit is harvested at the right maturity stage for the specific transit time.
We export premium varieties including the 'Queen' (known for its intense aroma and sweetness), 'Mauritius', and the globally popular 'MD2' hybrid. Our pineapples are selected for their uniform size and golden-yellow flesh.
Pineapples are typically packed in 10kg or 12kg corrugated fiberboard crates, with the fruit placed vertically or horizontally depending on the size. When kept in a cold chain (8°C), they have an export shelf life of 15 to 20 days.
