Not every importer needs a full container of a single fruit. For mid-size buyers, wholesalers testing a line, or retailers who want variety on one arrival, a mixed reefer is often the smarter buy. Late summer 2026 is a good moment for it, because three strong Egyptian fruits overlap: mango at peak, table grapes still running, and the first pomegranate coming into reach. Here is how we build a combined fruit container at Peivana without compromising any one product.
Why these three travel well together
The key to a mixed load is temperature compatibility. Mango prefers a warmer set point, usually around 10 to 13 degrees Celsius, because it chills-injures below that. Table grapes and pomegranate are happier colder, near 2 to 5 degrees. Because those ranges do not fully match, we plan mixed fruit loads around a compromise set point close to 8 to 10 degrees and keep the mango volume as the driver, with grapes and pomegranate as shorter-transit companions rather than the majority. For longer routes we advise splitting the temperature-sensitive items out. Being honest about this up front is what protects the fruit.
A workable pallet split
A 40-foot high-cube reefer holds 20 standard pallets. A common late-summer split is 10 pallets of mango in vented 4 kilogram cartons, 6 pallets of grapes in 4.5 to 5 kilogram open-top boxes, and 4 pallets of pomegranate in 4 to 5 kilogram cartons. That gives a retailer a broad fruit offer on one arrival while keeping each item in whole-pallet units, which speeds up handling and stock control at destination. We adjust the ratio to your orders rather than forcing a fixed template. For the full logic of combining products, see our guide on Egyptian mango in mixed containers.
Packing and documentation
Each fruit keeps its own carton spec, labelling and traceability code, so the load stays clean for inspection and for shelf presentation. One set of shipping documents covers the container, with a packing list that itemises pallets by product, count and grade. Our GLOBALG.A.P and BRC certification applies across the produce we pack, so a mixed container does not mean a mixed standard. Buyers assembling frozen and vegetable loads can apply the same approach shown in our IQF mixed vegetables guide.
Timing the booking
The overlap window is real but short. Mango peaks through August, grapes taper toward the end of summer, and pomegranate volume builds from September, so a container that catches all three is best booked in the coming weeks. Tell us your destination, the fruit split you want and your preferred counts, and we will confirm availability, a compromise reefer setting and a delivered offer.
