Late-Season Export Mangoes from Egypt Keitt, Kent & Naomi
Filling the global mango gap from August to November.
Exceptional sweetness and low disease pressure from Egypt's sun-rich soils.
Il Mondo Export supplies three late-season mango varieties from Egypt to European and Gulf importers: Keitt (large, green-skinned, low-fibre — the preferred late-season variety for Europe); Kent (deep red skin, rich flavour, high juice content); and Naomi
(Israeli-origin variety, excellent European retail acceptance).
Egypt’s mango season (August–November) fills a critical late-season gap in global mango supply when West African and Southeast Asian origins are winding down. Mangoes are a chilling-sensitive tropical fruit — Il Mondo ships all mango varieties at 10–13°C, never below 10°C, to prevent pitting, internal browning, and uneven colour development in buyer ripening rooms.

The Egyptian Valencia Season: February to June
Valencia oranges are Egypt’s longest-running and most robust citrus export. As the winter citrus season ends in Europe, the Egyptian Valencia season reaches its peak. Because of their naturally robust rind and excellent keeping qualities, our Valencias offer exceptional shelf life — providing a reliable bridge of fresh citrus deep into the European spring and early summer.
For juice processors, the February–May window is the most critical supply period of the year. Il Mondo’s fixed weekly loading schedules from Alexandria ensure your production lines never stop — whether you need retail-grade Class I cartons or high-yield Class II industrial bins.

Frequently Asked Questions AboutEgyptian Export Mangoes
How do you avoid chilling injury and uneven ripening in Egyptian mangoes?
Mangoes are highly chilling-sensitive — temperatures below 10°C cause pitting (skin dimpling), internal browning, and failure to ripen evenly. We maintain a strict 10–13°C environment throughout packing, pre-cooling, loading, and sea transit.
By preserving this temperature window, we ensure uniform colour development in your ripening rooms and maximum shelf life for retail programs.
Which Egyptian mango variety is best for European supermarkets?
Keitt is the most requested Egyptian mango variety for European retail, due to its large size (400–700g), green skin that turns slightly yellow at ripeness (preferred by many European consumers over red), firm flesh, and low-fibre eating quality.
Kent is preferred by buyers seeking a visually striking red/yellow fruit for premium positioning. Naomi has strong acceptance in German and Dutch retail due to its consistent appearance and sweetness.
When is the Egyptian mango export season?
The Egyptian mango season runs from August to November, with peak quality and volume in September and October.
This season directly fills the global supply gap when Brazilian, West African, and South Asian origins are declining — making Egyptian late-season mangoes a commercially important supply source for buyers maintaining year-round mango availability.
