Few crops travel as well or sell as reliably as Egyptian onions. Grown in the mineral-rich soils of the Nile Delta and Upper Egypt, our red and golden onions are prized by importers for their high dry-matter content, firm skins and long storage life. Nile Prime supplies wholesalers, supermarket chains and food processors worldwide with consistent, export-grade onions season after season.
Why Egyptian Onions?
Egypt is one of the world’s top onion exporters for good reason: an early harvest window that fills the gap before European crops arrive, naturally cured bulbs with excellent pungency, and competitive freight positioning to Europe, the Gulf, Africa and Asia. Combined with storage supply after the main season, buyers can secure volume almost year-round.
