Onion from India — sourced, graded and export-ready.
India is one of the world's largest exporters of onions. We supply premium
quality red, light red (pink), and white onions sourced directly from the famous
Lasalgaon and Nashik belts in Maharashtra. Our onions are properly cured, graded
by size, and securely packed in mesh bags to ensure maximum ventilation during
extended sea transit.
Aethon Overseas supplies onion available as red onion, white onion, small shallots / sambar onion. 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.
