Why Import Egyptian Mandarins?

Answers to common questions from international citrus buyers regarding our soft citrus varieties.

What makes Egyptian Honey Murcott & Fremont superior?

Egyptian soil produces mandarins with exceptional sugar-to-acid ratios. Our Fremont variety offers an intense, zesty sweetness perfect for the winter holidays, while our Honey Murcott Spanish variety is famous for its rich, honey-like flavor, firm texture, and durability for late-season shipping.

Are your mandarins 'Easy Peelers'?

Yes, both varieties are classified as 'Easy Peelers' (Soft Citrus). They feature loose skins that separate effortlessly from the segments, making them a favorite for retail consumers and school feeding programs across Europe and Russia.

What are your minimum order quantities?

We accommodate flexible orders from 1-ton air freight trials to full 40ft reefer containers (approx. 24 tons). We can mix varieties (Fremont & Navel Oranges) in the same container during overlapping seasons to maximize your import value.

Our Farm-to-Port Mandarin Export Process

Ensuring delicate soft citrus arrives fresh to global markets.

Farming & Cultivation

Grown in protected groves to prevent wind scarring, ensuring smooth skin. We use biological pest control to minimize chemical usage.

Harvesting & Collection

Quality Control & Processing

Gentle washing, optical grading for color, and automated sizing to meet exact counts (e.g., Murcott 36-88). Waxed to preserve moisture.

Packaging & Shipping

Packed in 15kg telescopic cartons or plastic boxes with ventilation to prevent humidity buildup. Shipped at 4-5°C to maintain freshness.
