How Wonderful pomegranate is graded on an Egyptian export line, the colour, size and defect criteria that decide Class I from Class II, and the four lines every buyer should put in the specification.

Fresh Egyptian dates at balah and rutab stage ship on a much tighter clock than dried grades. Harvest windows for Zaghloul, Samany and Barhi, carton formats, reefer set points and why the September window closes fast.

The best grapes export companies in Egypt compete in the origin’s most technically demanding fresh category: table grapes are graded berry by berry, cold-chained to −1°C within hours of cutting, and sold into a May–July window where a week’s delay erases the entire early-season premium. This 2026 ranking profiles the leading exporters and the qualification

Egyptian figs export is one of the trade’s best-kept summer secrets: a July–September window of Sultani and Black Mission figs from Sinai and the northwest coast, sold into premium Gulf and European channels where fresh figs command prices most fruit never sees — precisely because almost nobody can ship them. Fresh figs are the least

Beyond the flagship trades sit Egypt’s specialty fruits — figs, guava, cantaloupe, and watermelon — each with its own niche, season, and buyer.
