FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about sourcing cauliflower from Aethon Overseas.

The primary export season for Indian Cauliflower is from November to March when the quality and curd size are optimal. During the summer months, we also source high-quality cauliflower from high-altitude regions like Ooty and Himachal Pradesh to ensure year-round availability for our global clients.

For strict markets like the EU and UK, we perform comprehensive pesticide Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) testing and heavy metal analysis in APEDA-authorized labs. Every consignment is accompanied by a Phytosanitary Certificate from the NPPO to guarantee a pest-free product.

Cauliflowers are packed in 7kg to 12kg corrugated fiberboard (CFB) boxes with protective foam or paper lining to prevent bruising. We maintain a strict cold chain at 0-2°C throughout the transit in refrigerated (reefer) containers to preserve the white curd color and freshness.

Our premium Cauliflower is exported to the Middle East, Southeast Asia (Singapore, Malaysia), and the United Kingdom. We primarily serve high-end retail supermarket chains and institutional vegetable wholesalers who demand the highest standards of quality.
