Product Description

Export-grade Egyptian strawberries from Nubaria and Kafr El-Sheikh. Festival and Fortuna varieties, Brix 7–9°, deep red colour. Sea-freight and air-freight supply, November to March.

Egypt has emerged as one of Europe's key winter strawberry suppliers, with production concentrated in the Nubaria area of Beheira and Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate. Grown under plastic mulch in sandy soils with drip irrigation, Egyptian strawberries benefit from warm days and cool nights that produce the Brix and colour profile demanded by European retailers. The Festival variety is the workhorse of Egyptian export — dependable Brix, firm flesh, and good shelf life for sea-freight. Fortuna and Camarosa are grown for air-freight premium channels where flavour intensity is the primary criterion. All supply is pre-cooled within 4 hours of harvest, inspected against EU grade standards, and dispatched cold-chain from farm to vessel. Season runs November through March, with peak volume and quality in December and January.
