Egypt has quietly become one of the world’s leading exporters of frozen strawberries, and the reason is simple: a winter crop of Festival and Fortuna varieties picked at full ripeness and IQF-frozen within hours. Nile Prime, PEI Trade’s export brand, supplies IQF frozen strawberries in reefer-container volumes to importers, food manufacturers and juice processors — a strictly B2B programme with grades matched to your application.
Why Egyptian IQF Strawberries?
The winter harvest (roughly December to April) delivers deep-red, high-brix fruit while competing origins are out of season. Individual quick freezing at origin locks in colour, aroma and vitamin content, and Egypt’s cost base makes retail, industry and juice grades highly competitive against European and South American supply. Short reefer transit to Europe, the Gulf and Asia completes the case.
