No legume is more deeply rooted in Egyptian agriculture than the fava bean — it is the country’s staple bean, cultivated along the Nile for thousands of years and eaten daily in millions of households. Nile Prime, PEI Trade’s export brand, brings that heritage to international buyers with container-scale supply of Egyptian fava beans for importers, millers and food processors, strictly B2B.
Why Egyptian Fava Beans?
Because fava is Egypt’s national bean, local know-how in growing, drying and grading it is unmatched. Egyptian faba beans offer a rich flavour, high protein content and excellent cooking performance for foul medames, falafel and canning lines. Buyers benefit from a mature domestic processing industry — whole and split formats, careful sortex sorting — and short transit times to the Gulf, Levant, Africa and Europe.
