Strawberry from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
The hill station of Mahabaleshwar contributes to 80% of India's strawberry
production. Known for their brilliant red hue, firmness, and sweet-tart flavor,
Indian strawberries (varieties like Camarosa and Sweet Charlie) are carefully
hand-picked, packed in protective punnets, and immediately pre-cooled to ensure
they reach international markets fresh and intact.
Aethon Overseas supplies strawberry available as camarosa, sweet charlie / festival, chandler. 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.
