Egypt’s guava calendar centres on autumn: large, fragrant volumes from late summer into early winter for the fresh trade, plus frozen pulp and halves that run all year for the juice and processing industry. For importers, that means a defined fresh window for the Gulf and EU and continuous frozen supply. This guide sets out the Egyptian guava export season and how to plan around it.

Quick answer: The Egyptian fresh guava season runs from about August to December, peaking October to November, with some availability beyond. Frozen pulp and halves are produced in season and shipped year-round from cold storage. (Fresh peaks October–November; exact windows shift year to year with weather.)

Fresh and frozen: two calendars

Fresh guava is perishable and tied to the autumn harvest, so timing matters for fresh programs. Frozen pulp, purée and halves are produced from the same crop, frozen at −18°C and released across the year — supplying the juice and processing industry independent of the fresh season.

Why the timing matters

The autumn peak is when Egyptian guava is most abundant, best-priced and at its best quality — the ideal window for fresh programs to the Gulf and EU. Buyers wanting consistency through the rest of the year turn to frozen pulp and halves, which carry the flavour into juice and processing all year round.

Planning notes

  • Fresh programs: target the October–November peak for best quality and volume.
  • Frozen programs: order any month; align large volumes with the autumn processing season.
  • Logistics: fresh guava is perishable — premium fresh is often airfreighted to distant markets.
