Egyptian citrus and mango export price index — orange and mango FOB price trends

What moves Egyptian orange and mango export FOB: variety, count, season, freight. PEI Trade does not publish prices - ask the desk for a current figure.

This page explains what moves the export price of Egypt’s two flagship fruits, orange and mango, for buyers who need to read a quote rather than guess at one. PEI Trade does not publish prices here. Fresh produce FOB moves week to week, so a figure fixed on a web page is out of date before the next vessel loads; for a current figure against your spec, ask the export desk. For full volume and destination data, see the Citrus Export Report and the Mango Export Report.

At a Glance

The headlines that matter to a buyer, minus the numbers that go stale:

  • Egyptian orange export prices firmed sharply through the 2024/25 season after a broadly flat run in the two seasons before it.
  • Supply set the tone, not demand — weather-hit production plus a large diversion of oranges into domestic juice and concentrate.
  • Mango FOB spreads widely by variety and calibre. Premium Zebda, Naomi, Kent and Keitt sit well above standard fruit, and 8 count and 12 count of the same variety are different products commercially.
  • Red Sea disruption lifted Gulf freight steeply in 2024/25 and remains a direct cost driver on delivered terms.
  • Domestic Egyptian mango wholesale has trended firmly upward since 2021, pulling export offers with it.

How We Track Prices

We track the market continuously and quote against it on request. What sits behind a PEI Trade quote:

  • Inputs: live desk positions 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.
  • What changes a quote: variety, count and grade, pack and pallet spec, available volume, destination port, Incoterm and vessel space in the week you ship.
  • Cadence: desk positions are refreshed weekly through each season; this page carries the commentary, the desk carries the figure.

Orange & Citrus Prices: What Moves Them

Citrus prices firmed dramatically through the 2024/25 season as supply tightened. When you compare offers, check the basis before the number: value-per-tonne, average export price and FOB each measure a different point in the chain, and mixing them is the most common way a buyer misreads the market.

For oranges the practical variables are variety and season window — Navel from December, Valencia from March — then count, grade, pack and whether the fruit is going to a supermarket programme or the open market. Give the export desk those five things plus a destination port and a current figure comes back the same working day.

Mango Prices: What Moves Them

Mango prices have trended firmly upward, with a wide FOB spread that reflects variety, calibre and freight mode more than it reflects the market as a whole.

Zebda, Naomi, Kent and Keitt do not price alike, and the same variety at 8 count and at 12 count are different products commercially. Air freight and sea freight then put identical fruit in very different places on delivered cost. This is why a single published mango number is close to meaningless: give the desk variety, count, volume and destination and you get a figure that actually applies to your order.

Why we do not publish prices

Fresh produce FOB moves week to week with variety, count, grade, available volume and vessel space. A figure published here in August is misleading by October, and a supplier quoting a fixed public price is either quoting stale fruit or quoting something they cannot hold.

What follows is what actually moves the number. For a current figure against your crop, variety, count and destination port, ask the export desk and it comes back the same working day.

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. Market context on this page is read against IndexBox, OEC, official Egyptian value figures via FreshPlaza, Tridge and USDA FAS, alongside PEI Trade’s own desk positions. Price bases (farm-gate/wholesale, FOB, value-per-tonne, unit value) measure different points in the chain and are not directly comparable — which is one of the reasons we quote rather than publish.

Note: PEI Trade does not publish prices on this page. Any figure quoted to you comes from the export desk, is dated, and holds for a stated period. Actual FOB depends on variety, calibre, volume, destination, Incoterm and timing.

Citrus & Mango Prices — FAQ

What is the price of Egyptian oranges for export?

PEI Trade does not publish orange prices. Export FOB moves week to week with variety, count, grade, available volume and vessel space, so a figure published on a web page in August is misleading by October. Send your variety, count, volume and destination port to the export desk and a current figure comes back the same working day.

What is the price of Egyptian mangoes for export?

We do not publish mango prices. Mango FOB spreads widely by variety and calibre — Zebda, Naomi, Kent and Keitt do not price alike, and air freight and sea freight put identical fruit in very different places on delivered cost. Ask the export desk against your spec and destination for a current figure.

Why did Egyptian citrus prices rise so much in 2024/25?

Lower production after unfavourable weather, a sharp jump in oranges diverted to domestic juice and concentrate, and Red Sea disruption lifting Gulf freight all tightened supply and pushed prices up through the season.

How often do Egyptian citrus and mango export prices change?

Weekly through the season, and faster around harvest peaks and vessel-space squeezes. That is why PEI Trade quotes on request rather than publishing a fixed figure that would be wrong within a month.

Does PEI Trade publish a price list?

No. A supplier quoting a fixed public price is either quoting stale fruit or quoting something they cannot hold. For a live, binding quote by variety, calibre, volume, destination and Incoterm, contact PEI Trade at [email protected].
