Navel Oranges
Nile Delta & Middle Egypt · Egypt
Premium extra-class Washington Navel oranges from the Nile Delta. Brix 10–13°, full EU phytosanitary compliance, cold-chain continuity from grove to vessel. Season: November to April.
Technical Specifications
Egyptian navel oranges are among the most sought-after citrus varieties in European, Gulf, and Southeast Asian markets. Grown in the fertile alluvial soils of the Nile Delta — particularly in Beheira, Sharqia, and Minya governorates — they benefit from long warm growing days and cool nights that concentrate sugars without flattening acidity. Supply is sourced exclusively from GlobalGAP-certified farms. Every lot is pre-inspected and shipped with a phytosanitary certificate from the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture. Quality is locked in at harvest with immediate pre-cooling and cold-chain continuity to port. We ship from November through April, with peak Brix and colour from January to March.
Seasonality
Early harvest begins late October; full commercial season opens November. Peak Brix and colour January through March. Cold-storage extension to early May available for contracted buyers on request.
