Egyptian Baladi Oranges
Export Supplier

Baladi is the indigenous Egyptian orange — smaller than Navel, aromatic peel, intensely sweet. A GCC and Central Asian retail staple with a narrow December–February window and modest total planted area. Not a commodity line; we allocate Baladi to buyers who want something on shelf that competes on flavour, not price.
