Crisp, straight and uniformly dark, Egyptian cucumbers from Nile Prime’s greenhouse partners are built for demanding retail shelves. Grown under protected cultivation from October to May, our smooth cucumbers are picked daily, cooled fast and shipped with the snap and shine intact that buyers pay for.
Why Egyptian Cucumbers?
Greenhouse production gives Egyptian cucumbers a decisive edge: consistent sizing, glossy smooth skin and steady weekly volumes through the entire winter, when open-field origins fluctuate. Add short sea transit to the Gulf and Europe, and importers get a counter-season cucumber programme they can plan promotions around.

Packing & Shipping
Cucumbers are graded for length and straightness, packed in 4–6 kg cartons and pre-cooled without delay, since chilling speed defines cucumber shelf life. Reefer containers hold the cold chain from packhouse to discharge. We ship from Alexandria, Damietta, Sokhna and Port Said under Incoterms 2020 — FOB, CFR/CIF or DAP/DPU.
FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
One full reefer container. Mixed loads are routine: cucumbers travel well alongside peppers, tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant at compatible temperatures.
Do you offer samples and private-label packing?
Yes. Samples can be arranged ahead of your first order, and we pack under private label with your brand, barcode and language requirements, plus optional SGS or Intertek inspection.
