FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about sourcing strawberry from Aethon Overseas.

The Indian strawberry export season, primarily from the Mahabaleshwar region, runs from November to March. The peak harvest with the most vibrant color and sweetness occurs during January and February.

Due to their highly delicate nature, strawberries are shipped exclusively via air freight in a continuous cold chain (0-2°C). We use specialized handling protocols and high-speed logistics to ensure delivery within 48-72 hours of harvest.

Aethon Overseas supplies premium export varieties including 'Sweet Charlie', 'Winter Dawn', and 'Camarosa'. These varieties are selected for their firm texture, uniform conical shape, and high sugar-to-acid ratio.

Strawberries are packed in 200g or 250g transparent punnets, with 8-10 punnets per 2kg corrugated master carton. When maintained at 0-2°C, the export shelf life is approximately 3 to 5 days from the date of arrival.
