2. PEI Trade: the Parent Exporter
PEI Trade is the exporter behind Peivana and Nile Prime, with Navel and Valencia as core citrus lines. It suits importers running larger orange programmes to markets such as Russia, the Gulf, South Asia and Africa.
3. Nile Prime: Premium Grade
Nile Prime is the group’s premium brand: supermarket programmes, large sizes, retail cartons and private label. Buyers supplying upscale retail often pair a Nile Prime premium line with Peivana commercial grade.
4. Daltex
Daltex is among Egypt’s largest diversified grower-exporters, integrated from its own farms through packing to export, with citrus one of its main categories. It suits very large, specification-driven programmes such as supermarket chains and national distributors.
5. Magrabi Agriculture
Magrabi Agriculture grows citrus on its own farms with integrated packing. The farm-to-port model gives strong traceability for buyers whose markets audit the supply chain. Confirm sizes and windows early: plantation exporters sell what they grow.
6. El Marwa
El Marwa is an established Egyptian fresh-produce exporter with citrus among its seasonal lines, serving wholesale and distribution customers. Ask which packhouse handles your fruit before fixing a programme.
7. Fridal
Fridal is a long-standing Egyptian fresh-produce exporter, best known for onions, garlic and herbs. Buyers who also source those lines may want a comparison quote.
