Brassicas are cool-season crops, so Egypt’s winter and spring are their prime growing window — conveniently counter-seasonal to much northern-hemisphere production. Cabbage’s storage life stretches its reach; cauliflower and broccoli follow the fresh crop more closely. This guide sets out the season and how to plan around it.
Quick answer: Egyptian cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli are cool-season crops, grown mainly through the winter and spring. Cabbage stores well, extending its window; cauliflower and broccoli are tied more closely to the fresh crop. Frozen florets ship year-round. (Main crop runs through winter and spring; exact windows shift year to year with planting and weather.)

A cool-season, counter-seasonal window
These crops thrive in cooler weather, so the Egyptian winter–spring is their best window — which often aligns well with periods when northern-hemisphere supply is limited, giving a counter-seasonal opportunity for EU and other buyers.
The export calendar
| Period | Fresh supply | Frozen florets |
|---|---|---|
| Late autumn–Winter | Main crop opens, best quality | Year-round from storage |
| Spring | Continued supply | Peak floret processing |
| Summer | Out of main season | Year-round from storage |
Planning notes
- Best quality & price: the winter peak for all three.
- Cabbage programs: storage supports longer supply.
- Broccoli: plan tight logistics — it is highly perishable.
- Frozen florets: available year-round.
