Faba beans give Egypt the best of both worlds: a defined cool-season harvest, and product forms — dried and frozen — that ship every month of the year. For importers, that means continuous availability of a staple, with the green vegetable concentrated in winter and spring. This guide sets out the Egyptian faba beans export season and how to plan around it.
Quick answer: The faba bean crop is the cool season (roughly winter to spring). Dried beans are stored and shipped year-round; frozen green broad beans are processed in season and shipped year-round from −18°C storage. (The green crop runs winter–spring; exact windows shift year to year with planting and weather.)

A cool-season crop, year-round forms
Faba beans grow in cool weather, so the harvest is winter–spring. Because the main export forms are shelf-stable dried and frozen, supply is effectively continuous: dried beans ship from store all year, and frozen green beans from cold store all year. Only fresh green broad beans are tied tightly to the season.
The Egyptian faba beans export calendar
| Period | Green crop | Dried & frozen |
|---|---|---|
| Winter | Green harvest & freezing | Year-round from storage |
| Spring | Dry-down & harvest of dried beans | Dried beans into storage |
| Summer–Autumn | Out of fresh season | Year-round from storage |
Planning notes
- Dried beans: order any month; new-crop quality is freshest after the spring harvest.
- Frozen green: align large volumes with the cool-season crop; ship year-round.
- Fresh green broad beans: target winter–spring — perishable, plan logistics.
