Deep green, tender and cut fresh each morning, Egyptian spinach is a winter specialty that rewards buyers who value speed. Nile Prime’s flat-leaf spinach moves from field to pre-cooler within hours, protecting the fragile leaves that make this crop so demanding — and so profitable for importers who get it right.
Why Egyptian Spinach?
Egypt’s cool, sunny winters from November to March produce broad, clean flat-leaf spinach with excellent colour and low grit, at a time when European field production has stopped. With disciplined harvesting, rapid cooling and short transit routes, Egyptian spinach reaches Gulf and Mediterranean markets in prime condition for both fresh sale and processing.

Packing & Shipping
Spinach is harvested in the cool early hours, washed or field-packed to specification in cartons or crates, and rushed into pre-cooling to lock in freshness. Reefer containers run an unbroken cold chain from our HACCP packhouses to the ports of Alexandria, Damietta, Sokhna and Port Said. We quote under Incoterms 2020 — FOB, CFR/CIF or DAP/DPU.
FAQ
What is the minimum order quantity?
One full container. Because spinach is often ordered in smaller volumes, mixed loads with lettuce, cabbage and other winter greens are a popular way to fill a reefer.
Are samples and private label available?
Yes. We can send samples ahead of contract, pack in your branded cartons or crates, and arrange SGS or Intertek quality inspection before every shipment.
