FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about sourcing pomegranate from Aethon Overseas.

Indian pomegranates are available almost year-round. However, the peak export season is from December to May, when the fruit achieves its maximum size, deep red color, and high BRIX (sugar) levels.

For long-distance sea freight, we use Controlled Atmosphere (CA) containers maintained at a temperature of 5-7°C and 90-95% humidity. This slows down the ripening process and prevents weight loss, ensuring fresh arrival.

We specialize in the 'Bhagwa' variety, which is world-renowned for its soft seeds and deep red arils. We also export the 'Arakta' variety. Our primary markets include the European Union, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Pomegranates are packed in 3.5kg or 5kg corrugated cartons, with each fruit individually foam-wrapped. Under optimal cold chain conditions (5°C), the export shelf life is approximately 45 to 60 days.
