Egyptian Guava for Export
Egyptian guava is instantly recognisable: an intensely aromatic, white-fleshed fruit with smooth pale-green to yellow skin and a perfume that fills a room. Grown mainly in the Nile Delta and along irrigated valley orchards, it is eaten fresh, juiced and blended across the Middle East, where the Egyptian type — sweet, low-acid, soft-fleshed — is the benchmark against which other origins are judged.
Origin matters here because guava character is regional: Egypt’s white-flesh selections deliver the fragrance and sweetness Gulf consumers grew up with, and proximity to Gulf and Mediterranean markets means the fruit can arrive at true eating ripeness. PEIVANA handles guava the way a delicate fruit demands — fast decisions, air-freight capability for premium retail, and mixed loads so guava pallets can travel with complementary autumn fruit.
Varieties & Grades
We supply Egyptian white-flesh guava selections prized for aroma and low seed presence, with seeded and lower-seed types available by program. Class 1 fruit is uniform in size and colour stage, free of bruising, scars and pest damage, and picked at the firmness matching the transit method: mature-firm for sea freight, closer to ripe for air shipments.
Sizes, Packing & Palletization

Season & Availability
The main Egyptian guava season runs from August to November, with the aromatic peak in September and October. Shoulder volumes can extend either side of the window depending on orchard and year; we confirm weekly availability against picking forecasts.
Logistics & Shipping
For premium programs — riper fruit, longer shelf presence — we recommend air freight, arriving in the Gulf or Europe within 1–2 days. Sea shipments run in reefer containers at 8–10°C for short lanes, loading from Alexandria, Damietta, Sokhna or Port Said toward the Gulf, Europe, Asia and Africa. Guava combines well in mixed reefers with compatible fruit at matching set points.
Quality & Documentation
Fruit comes from GLOBALG.A.P-certified partner orchards and is packed in HACCP and ISO-certified packhouses under full cold-chain control. Shipments include a phytosanitary certificate and certificate of origin, with pesticide-residue analysis to destination MRLs available before loading.
