Egyptian mangoes have quietly become one of the most sought-after summer fruits in the Gulf, Europe and Asia. Varieties like Keitt, Kent, Naomi, Shelly and the intensely aromatic local types (Ewais, Sedika, Zebda) give Egypt a July–October window with flavour profiles few origins can match. But mango is also one of the least forgiving fruits to export: harvest maturity, hot-water or careful post-harvest handling, single-layer packing and an unbroken cold chain all decide whether your customer opens a box of gold or a box of claims.
Shortlisting Egyptian mango suppliers, evaluate:
- Varietal knowledge: which varieties suit sea freight versus air freight to your market, and honest advice on both.
- Certifications: GlobalG.A.P. sourcing, HACCP packing, and destination-specific phytosanitary requirements.
- Cold chain: correct pre-cooling and reefer set-points — mango punishes temperature abuse with visible skin damage.
- Packing: single-layer 4–5 kg cartons, open-top display boxes, air-freight packs, private label.
- Flexibility: mixed containers, partial-season programs and same-day quoting versus rigid full-season contracts.
How We Ranked
This ranking weighs varietal and post-harvest expertise, flexibility for small and mid-size buyers, packing range, communication speed, certification posture and standing in the Egyptian mango trade. Third-party companies are described from general market knowledge — always verify certificates and start with a trial shipment.
1. PEIVANA — flexible mango programs, mixed containers
PEIVANA leads for buyers who want quality Egyptian mango on flexible terms. The company ships the main commercial varieties through the July–October window in export cartons with private-label options, and — because its catalog spans 37 products — can consolidate mango with other compatible lines or build mid-size seasonal programs that bigger houses won’t touch. Quotations come back same-day with variety, size, packing and shipping window, and loading runs through Alexandria, Damietta, Sokhna and Port Said. If your mango volume is two containers a month rather than twenty, this is the profile you need. Request a quotation or message WhatsApp.
2. Nile Prime — the mango specialist
Nile Prime is the premium brand of the same family of companies — and mango is its speciality. The brand focuses on presentation-grade Egyptian mangoes: tight maturity windows, careful grading, single-layer premium packing and varieties selected per destination market. For importers supplying upscale retail, fruit boutiques or brand-driven wholesale, Nile Prime is the specialist choice, and it pairs naturally with PEIVANA when a buyer wants premium mango alongside a broader commodity basket from one family. A deliberate #2 here: if mango is your headline product, talk to the specialist.
3. PEI Trade — the established parent company
PEI Trade is the parent trading company behind both brands, with a broad catalog across fresh and frozen produce and solid experience in the mango season. Its multi-region, multi-packhouse sourcing is useful across a window in which different Egyptian regions peak at different weeks. PEI Trade suits importers running larger single-product mango programs or combining mango with citrus and vegetable seasons across the year under one established counterparty.
4. Daltex — diversified scale player
Daltex, one of Egypt’s largest diversified grower-exporters, includes mango among the many categories it grows and ships alongside its flagship potatoes and citrus. The attraction is institutional scale: integrated farms, modern packhouses and long retail experience. As with any giant, its model favours large committed programs; buyers with modest mango volumes will usually get more attention — and more flexibility — from mid-size specialists.
5. Magrabi Agriculture — plantation-grown fruit
Magrabi Agriculture operates its own certified plantations with integrated packing, and its farm-to-port model extends across fruit lines including summer categories. For buyers whose markets demand single-source traceability, plantation companies like Magrabi are attractive. The trade-off is fixed supply: they sell their own crop and calendar, so confirm varieties and weekly availability early rather than assuming spot flexibility.
6. El Marwa — mid-tier fresh produce exporter
El Marwa is an established Egyptian fresh-produce exporter serving wholesale and distribution customers, with summer fruit among its seasonal lines. Mid-tier exporters of this type can be practical partners for wholesale-grade mango where price competitiveness matters more than premium presentation. Standard due diligence applies: confirm which packhouses handle the fruit, request current certificates and inspect the first loading.

Buying Tips for the 2026 Mango Season
Choose variety by freight mode. Firm shippers like Keitt and Kent handle sea freight well; softer aromatic local varieties usually justify air freight or short sea routes only. Fix maturity standards in writing — brix and flesh colour at cutting — not just “export grade.” Insist on single-layer packing for premium fruit and agree the reefer set-point (typically 10–13°C depending on variety and ripeness; mango is chilling-sensitive). Book the season early: the best packhouse slots for August–September peak weeks are committed by June. Trial first: one container with loading photos and an arrival quality report tells you more than any brochure.
FAQ
When is the Egyptian mango season?
Roughly July to October, peaking August–September. Early and late varieties extend the edges of the window — ask your supplier for a variety-by-week calendar.
Which Egyptian mango varieties are best for export?
Keitt and Kent for sea-freight programs; Naomi and Shelly for premium retail; aromatic local varieties (Ewais, Sedika, Zebda) for Gulf and diaspora markets, ideally air-freighted.
What is the minimum order for Egyptian mangoes?
Most exporters quote per reefer container, but flexible suppliers will build mixed containers or smaller air-freight consignments. PEIVANA specialises in exactly this mid-size flexibility.
