Compare Egyptian Yellow Onions vs Indian Onions →Export-grade Egyptian yellow onions with high dry matter content (12–16%), strong outer skins, and extended shelf life. EU-certified, year-round supply from controlled storage.
Egypt is consistently among the world's top five onion exporters, and the yellow onion — grown primarily in Sohag, Assiut, and Beheira governorates — is the backbone of that trade. Egyptian yellow onions are prized for their high dry matter content (12–16%), which directly translates into longer shelf life, firmer texture after transport, and better processing yields for industrial buyers. The long dry growing season concentrates flavour and reduces moisture, producing a bulb that outperforms many northern European varieties on storage longevity. Supply is sourced from GlobalGAP and EU phytosanitary certified farms, with every shipment pre-inspected, cured, and loaded under temperature-monitored conditions. We ship primarily FOB Alexandria and Damietta from March through July, with peak availability in April and May when the main Upper Egypt harvest concludes.
