Roughly August to December. The harvest itself is short — about September to November — but pomegranates store for months afterwards, so the shipping season outlasts the picking by a wide margin.

That storability makes this one of the least stressful reefer programmes on the page. The exposure is at the other end: a container nobody is in a hurry to collect is a container accruing demurrage on cargo that would have been fine either way.
