Year-round production across open-field and greenhouse. Three cultivars carry 90% of export volumes: R196 (round), Bar 84 (elongated), and Cherry in 2–5 kg trays. Winter is the commercial window (Dec–Apr) — that's when GCC and Central Asian domestic glasshouse supply contracts and Egypt fills the gap by air and short-haul reefer.

Egypt — Nile Valley & Delta
Months highlighted in terracotta are peak export availability from Egypt. Shoulder weeks may be available on request — contact our sourcing team for current-week status.
Commercial fit: Dec–Apr. Outside that window Egyptian tomatoes face Turkish, Dutch, and Spanish competition with thinner margins — we can still supply, we just don't push it hard.
All sea freight ships reefer from Alexandria or Port Said unless otherwise agreed. Air freight departs Cairo International (CAI).
