Quick NavigationPremium Quality: Deep Violet Color & High Pungency for Global Export
As a premier exporter of Egyptian Red Onions (Red Creole), GEO EXPORTING delivers the specific characteristics international buyers demand: Deep Dark Violet Color, solid bulb structure, and high pungency. Sourced from the Nile Delta, our red onions are famous for their extended storage capability.
"Double-Skin" Curing for Maximum Protection
To ensure arrival quality in Asian and European markets, we utilize a strict Field-Curing protocol. This process dries the outer layers into a protective "Double-Skin" and seals the neck, preventing fungal growth and ensuring a shelf life of up to 5 months during sea transit.
We guarantee full transparency and safety. Our produce is GLOBALG.A.P Certified and available in flexible bulk packaging options—including standard 10kg/25kg Mesh Bags and 1200kg Jumbo Bags for industrial processing.
Why Global Buyers Partner with GEO EXPORTING for Egyptian Red Onions
Sourcing premium fresh produce requires a partner you can trust. We combine the fertile silt of the Nile Delta with rigorous Field-Curing protocols to deliver the world's finest Red Creole Onions, renowned for their deep violet color, high pungency, and robust double-skin for extended export shelf life.
Why choose Egyptian Red Onions for export?
Egyptian Red Onions (Red Creole) are famous for their solid bulb structure and high dry matter content. Unlike softer varieties, they maintain their firmness and dark red color even after long sea voyages to Asia and Europe.
How do you prevent skin peeling?
We adhere to a strict curing period of 15-20 days in the field before packing. This natural process hardens the outer layers into a protective "double skin," significantly reducing peeling and mechanical damage during handling.
What is your availability window?
Our Red Onion season starts with the Fresh (Green) Crop in January/February, followed by the main Dry (Cured) Crop from April through December. We offer consistent supply for long-term contracts.
