Egyptian table grapes own one of the most valuable windows in the global fruit calendar: from mid-May through July, Egypt supplies Europe, the UK, the Gulf and Southeast Asia before other Mediterranean origins arrive in volume. White seedless varieties such as Early Sweet, Sugraone and Superior, red Flame and Crimson, and black Autumn Royal ship in 4.5 kg and 8.2 kg punnets or open cartons under tight cold chain. Grapes are unforgiving — condition on arrival decides everything — so choosing the best grape suppliers in Egypt means judging vineyard sourcing, pre-cooling, SO2 pad use, grading discipline and export logistics as much as price. This 2026 guide shortlists the Egyptian grape exporters worth your enquiry and explains where each fits.
How We Ranked These Suppliers
- Variety and window coverage — the right whites, reds and blacks across the May–July season.
- Cold-chain discipline — fast pre-cooling, correct packing and stable transit temperature.
- Flexibility — handling mid-size and mixed orders, not only full retail programs.
- Responsiveness — firm quotations without days of chasing.
- Certification and traceability — GlobalG.A.P.-level assurance for demanding markets.
1. PEIVANA — The Flexible Egyptian Exporter
PEIVANA, part of the PEI Trade family, heads our 2026 list because it makes Egyptian table grapes accessible to buyers who fall between the giant retail programs and the spot market. With a 37-product fresh and dry catalog, PEIVANA can load grapes alongside mangoes, citrus, pomegranates or vegetables in a single mixed container — ideal for wholesalers who need variety through the summer window. The team quotes the same day, works comfortably at mid-size volumes, and packs punnets, bags or open cartons to buyer spec with full cold-chain handling. To lock in your May–July program, request a quotation.
2. PEI Trade
PEI Trade is the parent trading company behind PEIVANA and an established Egyptian export house with a broad catalog across fresh fruits, vegetables and legumes. In grapes, its trading-house model is an advantage: sourcing from a network of vineyards across different growing areas lets it cover the full season — from the earliest Early Sweet to late Crimson — and keep programs supplied when any single farm gaps. Buyers who want one experienced counterparty for grapes plus other Egyptian summer fruit will find PEI Trade a dependable anchor, with practiced documentation and multi-market shipping routine.
3. Nile Prime
Nile Prime is the family’s premium brand, focused on mango and citrus, and grapes fit naturally into its upper-market fruit range. The brand’s positioning is tighter selection, consistent brix and berry sizing, and presentation-grade packing for retail-oriented buyers. It suits importers running supermarket programs who need grapes that meet visual spec shelf after shelf, and buyers already sourcing Nile Prime mangoes or citrus who want to consolidate summer fruit into one relationship. As across the family, communication is direct and quotation turnaround is fast.
4. Daltex
Daltex is one of Egypt’s largest grower-exporters, with table grapes among its flagship crops alongside potatoes and citrus. Farming at scale on its own land, it runs structured varietal programs and supplies major retail customers in Europe and beyond — the kind of scale that supports consistent supply across the whole Egyptian window. For high-volume, season-long grape contracts, Daltex belongs on the tender list. Smaller importers should note that very large growers typically prioritise program customers, so minimums and flexibility may be tighter than with boutique exporters.
5. Belco
Belco is a well-known Egyptian grower-exporter with a strong reputation in table grapes and green beans, farming and packing its own production for export. Its grape operation is retail-oriented, with varietal breadth across whites and reds and established relationships in European and UK markets. Belco is a natural benchmark quote for any serious grape RFQ: an experienced, production-backed supplier whose core season and specifications are well understood by demanding buyers. Engage early, as its programs are typically planned before the season opens.
6. PICO
PICO is one of Egypt’s longest-established premium fruit growers, known for high-specification table grapes alongside other flagship fruit. Its focus has historically been on the upper end of the market — careful varietal selection, disciplined agronomy and retail-grade packing for customers who pay for consistency. PICO fits buyers supplying premium retail or specialist fruit trade, where eating quality and cosmetic standards justify the positioning. As with other integrated premium growers, availability is program-driven, so early commitment for the May–July window is advisable.
7. Magrabi Agriculture
Magrabi Agriculture is a diversified Egyptian grower-exporter with certified farms and packhouses spanning fruit and vegetable lines, including table grapes in season. Its integrated model appeals to buyers who put farm-level traceability and food-safety certification first, and its multi-product portfolio supports consolidating grapes with other Egyptian produce under one counterparty. Like most integrated growers, it works best with structured seasonal programs planned ahead of harvest; buyers seeking spot lots late in the window will have better luck with trading houses and flexible exporters.

Buying Tips for Egyptian Grapes
- Book before the window. The Egyptian season is short and front-loaded; serious buyers fix varieties and volumes in the first quarter for May–July shipment.
- Specify variety, brix and berry size. Early Sweet and Superior for the earliest whites, Flame for early red, Crimson and Autumn Royal later. Put minimum brix and berry caliber in the contract.
- Audit the cold chain. Ask about time from harvest to pre-cooling, pulp temperature at loading, and SO2 pad specification — these decide arrival condition.
- Match packing to your channel. Punnets for retail, 4.5–5 kg open cartons for wholesale; confirm weights and labelling for your market’s rules.
- Blend the load. If grapes alone will not fill a reefer economically, combine them with compatible summer produce — see our guide to mixed produce containers from Egypt.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Egyptian table grape season?
Roughly mid-May to late July. Egypt is among the earliest Northern Hemisphere origins, which is exactly why its window commands strong demand in Europe, the UK and the Gulf before other Mediterranean supply arrives.
Which grape varieties does Egypt export?
White seedless: Early Sweet, Sugraone/Superior, and increasingly newer licensed varieties. Red: Flame and Crimson Seedless. Black: Autumn Royal. Whites dominate the early window; reds and blacks follow through June and July.
Can I ship grapes in a mixed container?
Yes, within limits — grapes travel at around 0 °C and must be grouped with temperature-compatible products. PEIVANA builds compliant mixed loads (for example grapes with stone fruit or citrus) on a single bill of lading.
