Egyptian origin evidence
Why Egyptian Murcott and mandarin deserve focused planning
Egypt is becoming more visible in the EU small-citrus window, while buyer value still depends on variety profile, condition, sizing and presentation.
EU growth signal
FreshPlaza reported 71,457 tonnes exported to the EU between Sep 2025 and May 2026, compared with 24,938 tonnes in the same period of the previous season.
Buyer fit
The origin trend creates an opportunity, but each Murcott programme still requires confirmation of skin condition, colour, sugar profile, sizing and retail presentation.
