The Egyptian Citrus & Mango Price Index is a living, seasonally updated tracker of export prices for Egypt’s two flagship fruit exports. It pulls together public market data with representative PEI Trade FOB quotes so importers, journalists and analysts have one clear, citable reference for where Egyptian orange and mango prices sit. For full volume and destination data, see the Citrus Export Report and the Mango Export Report.

At a Glance
The quotable price headlines:
- Egyptian orange export prices averaged ~USD 1,059 per tonne in 2024, then climbed 60–70% across the 2024/25 season, roughly doubling in March 2025.
- Citrus value per tonne moved from about USD 497 to USD 474 (2022/23 → 2023/24) before the 2024/25 price surge.
- Egyptian mango export FOB ran ~USD 700–1,400 per tonne in 2024; premium Zebda sits at the top of the band.
- Mango domestic wholesale prices more than doubled, from ~USD 0.38/kg (2021) to ~USD 0.92/kg (2025).
- Red Sea disruption pushed the Gulf ferry rate from USD 2,500 to USD 6,000 per tonne in 2024/25 — a direct cost driver.
How the Index Works
The index is a simple, transparent seasonal composite, not a financial instrument:
- Components: representative FOB quotes for the main export varieties of orange (Navel, Valencia) and mango (Zebda, Naomi/Kent, Keitt), by calibre and season window.
- Public context: cross-referenced with official value-per-tonne, OEC/IndexBox unit values and trade-press price reporting.
- Base: the 2024/25 citrus season and 2024 mango season are set at an index of 100; later seasons are expressed relative to that base.
- Cadence: refreshed each season at harvest, with the edition date shown at the top.

What’s Driving Prices
Four forces have shaped Egyptian citrus and mango prices recently: tighter citrus supply after weather-hit production; a ~50% rise in oranges diverted to domestic juice and concentrate; Red Sea disruption lifting Gulf freight sharply; and rising domestic demand and input costs underpinning mango. Looking into 2026, a rebound in citrus production (orange output forecast up ~15% to ~4.0 million tonnes) and a strong mango crop should ease some pressure, though premium, late and export-grade fruit is expected to hold firm.
Sources & Methodology
Method. Public price points are compiled from IndexBox, OEC, official Egyptian value figures via FreshPlaza, Tridge and USDA FAS; the FOB tracker uses representative PEI Trade desk quotes. Price bases (farm-gate/wholesale, FOB, value-per-tonne, unit value) measure different points in the chain and are not directly comparable.
Disclaimer: All figures are indicative market references for information only — they are not offers or binding prices. Actual FOB depends on variety, calibre, volume, destination, Incoterm and timing.

Citrus & Mango Prices — FAQ
What is the price of Egyptian oranges for export?
The average Egyptian orange export price was around USD 1,059 per tonne in 2024. In the 2024/25 season prices rose sharply — up 60–70% for most of the season and roughly doubling in March 2025 — so live FOB depends heavily on variety, calibre, destination and timing.
What is the price of Egyptian mangoes for export?
Export FOB prices for Egyptian mango ran roughly USD 700–1,400 per tonne in the 2024 season, with premium varieties such as Zebda at the top of the band. Domestic wholesale prices rose from about USD 0.38/kg in 2021 to USD 0.92/kg in 2025.
Why did Egyptian citrus prices rise so much in 2024/25?
Lower production after unfavourable weather, a ~50% jump in oranges diverted to domestic processing, and Red Sea freight disruption (Gulf ferry rates rising from USD 2,500 to 6,000 per tonne) all tightened supply and pushed prices up.
