Premium Egyptian Oranges for Export

We have several varieties of oranges prepared for export: Valencia, Navel, and Baladi with its various sub-types. Our farms are located in the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt.

Valencia Oranges: 

Our Premium Egyptian Valencia oranges are prized for their exceptional juice content, balanced sweet-tart flavor profile, thin and smooth rind, and minimal seed count. Grown under the abundant Egyptian sunshine and carefully harvested at peak maturity, they are ideal for both fresh consumption and juice processing.  

• Season: Primarily available from January to May.
• Uses: Highly versatile, suitable for both fresh consumption and juice production due to their high juice yield and flavor.
• Key Characteristics:
  • Balanced sweet-tart flavor.
  • Excellent juice content.
  • Good source of Vitamin C, fiber, and folate.
  • Globular to slightly oval shape, medium to large size (7-10 cm diameter).
  • Golden orange color with a slightly rough, leathery rind.
• Packaging: Typically packed in 15 kg net weight cartons, either telescopic or open top. Container loads usually consist of 20 pallets, with 1300-1600 cartons per 40-foot reefer container, depending on the carton type. Available in various counts (sizes) per carton, such as 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 100, 113, and 125.

Navel Oranges: 

Our premium Egyptian Navel oranges are recognized by the distinctive "navel" at their blossom end and are a virtually seedless variety. They boast a sweet and aromatic flavor with a relatively thick peel that is easy to remove. Grown in the fertile soils of the Nile Delta and Lower Egypt, they are carefully harvested at their peak ripeness. Navel oranges are an excellent choice for fresh consumption due to their easy peeling and convenient size.

• Season: Typically harvested from mid-November to late February or March.
• Uses: Primarily favored for fresh consumption due to their ease of peeling and seedless segments, making them ideal for snacking and salads. While juicy, they are generally not preferred for juicing due to a compound (limonin) that can cause bitterness if the juice is left standing.
• Key Characteristics:
  • Sweet and mildly tart flavor.
  • Seedless flesh, divided into 10-12 easy-to-separate segments.
  • Medium to large size (6-10 cm diameter), globular to slightly oval shape.
