â90% of oranges that are shipped over next two months will be from Egyptâ
The Valencia season in Egypt has really picked up steam, according to one exporter. With Spain and India now also importing their oranges from Egypt, both demand and prices have increased for the Valencias. Volumes are solid, with about 30% more produce already exported compared to last year.
According to Mohamed Elkhtib, export manager for Egyptian fresh produce exporter Zamel, the situation of Egyptian Valencias has changed for the better: âDemand for Egyptian Valencias has changed compared to two months ago. Demand is now high, as quality is good in Egypt right now. Also, India and China mainly start their imports at the beginning of March, so our exports to these territories are now in full swing. Demand from Europe is also higher right now, as Spain has already finished its season.â
