Pomegranate (Anaar)
Common questions from importers about sourcing, quality, and exporting Pomegranate (Anaar) from India.
-
When is the best time to source pomegranates from India?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.
-
What are the cold chain requirements for shipping pomegranates?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.
-
Which pomegranate varieties does Aethon Overseas export?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.
-
How are pomegranates packed and what is their export shelf life?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.
