Cabbage from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
A staple vegetable worldwide, Indian cabbage features tightly layered, compact
heads that are incredibly heavy for their size, indicating excellent internal
moisture and crispness. Sourced primarily during the peak winter months from
Gujarat and the hills of HP, our cabbages have an exceptional shelf-life, making
them suitable for long-distance sea freight.
Aethon Overseas supplies cabbage available as green / white cabbage, red / purple cabbage, napa cabbage / chinese cabbage. 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.
