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–Mar. This is the single Egyptian export where Spain, Morocco, and Greece all have domestic supply — so Egypt wins on landed price for specific routes (Tashkent, Jebel Ali, Moscow) and on the counter-season Nov–Dec shoulder before Spanish volume arrives.
All sea freight ships reefer from Alexandria or Port Said unless otherwise agreed. Air freight departs Cairo International (CAI).
