▸ About this program

Origin character, audited soil, packed to spec.

The Egyptian Navel is the first orange to reach world markets each season, opening shelves in EU and GCC retail from December onwards. Round shape, deep orange skin, and a tender easy-peel rind. Flesh is sweet, juicy, and entirely seedless. We harvest from blocks across Beheira and the Nubaria reclaimed lands, where Nile Delta soil and a warm dry winter climate produce a fruit with strong colour and excellent Brix. Picked, sorted and pre-cooled the same day, then packed under EU MRL discipline for retail and food-service programs across Europe, the United Kingdom, the GCC, and Central Asia.
