Product Overview

Egypt is one of the world's largest garlic producers, with Upper Egypt's Sohag and Assiut governorates dominating export volumes. Egyptian garlic is characterised by high allicin content, large bulbs (50–65 mm), and strong pungency — highly sought by European food manufacturers and GCC wholesale markets.
