Egypt grows more dates than any other country on earth, and Egyptian dates give importers something rare in this category: year-round availability backed by enormous production depth. From semi-dry Siwi to fresh Zaghloul and Samany and premium Medjool, Nile Prime covers the full commercial spectrum for wholesale, industrial and retail buyers. Harvest runs September to December, but controlled-atmosphere storage lets us supply consistent quality in every month.
Why Egyptian Dates?
Centuries-old palm groves in Siwa, the Nile Valley and the Delta thrive in Egypt’s desert heat, producing dates with dense sugars and excellent texture at highly competitive cost. Proximity to the Gulf, EU and Asian markets — plus Ramadan-season logistics experience — makes Egypt a dependable strategic origin.

Packing & Shipping
Dates are cleaned, sorted, graded and packed in 5–10 kg bulk cartons or consumer-ready retail packs, then shipped in 40′ reefer containers to protect texture and prevent fermentation in transit. We load from Alexandria, Damietta, Sokhna and Port Said and quote under Incoterms 2020 — FOB, CFR/CIF or DAP/DPU. Fresh Zaghloul and Samany move on tight cold-chain schedules during their short season.
