Egypt leads the world in frozen strawberry exports, with 2025 revenue of $672 million — an 81% jump from $370 million the year before.

Egypt remains the world’s top frozen strawberry exporter. Shipments generated about $672 million in 2025, an 81% increase over the $370 million recorded in 2024 — a gain of more than $300 million on the back of expanded IQF capacity and strong European and Asian demand.

In 2026 the industry conversation is shifting from volume and price toward compliance, documentation and traceability — variety-rights alignment, standardised specifications, and shorter field-to-freezer times. Sampled IQF export prices in April 2026 ran around $1.20–1.64/kg.

What it means for buyers: IQF strawberry is a year-round, lower-seasonality line where Egypt already leads. Suppliers that lean into proof-of-compliance and consistent specs offer the most dependable industrial supply. (See: Egypt’s frozen strawberry exports.)
