The Egyptian mango season is the single most important planning factor for any importer sourcing from Egypt, because timing decides which varieties you can buy, what quality you receive, and how competitive your price is. This calendar lays out the harvest and export months in detail, shows which variety is available when, and explains how Egypt’s growing regions stretch the supply window further than most origins.

When Is the Egyptian Mango Season?
The Egyptian mango season runs broadly from July to November. July opens with the early varieties — Timour, Fagri Kelan, Naomi and Tommy Atkins — the commercial export season builds into volume in August with Kent, and shipments peak from August through November. Fresh mango is generally available from July to November, after which frozen product carries the tail of the season into winter.
For buyers, three dates matter most: July (early varieties begin), August (export season opens in volume), and October (a peak shipping month on several lanes). Importers who lock programs before August consistently secure better allocation and pricing than those who wait for the peak. American buyers have to read that window against their own domestic and Latin American supply, which is set out in Egyptian mango and the US supply calendar.
Month-by-Month Egyptian Mango Season Calendar
| Month | Stage | What Is Available |
|---|---|---|
| June | Pre-season | No export volume; orchards still sizing fruit ahead of the July opening |
| July | Season opens | Early varieties — Timour, Fagri Kelan, Naomi, Tommy Atkins; export volume building |
| August | Export volume opens | Kent, Owaisi, Sedeeka and Zebda enter export channels |
| September | Peak | Peak fresh export across main varieties |
| October | Peak | Continued peak shipments — a record month on several lanes |
| November | Wind-down | Season tapering; late Keitt extends availability |
| Dec–Jan | Season closed | Egyptian fresh mango season is over; the next season opens in July. Frozen mango covers this window |
Variety Availability Through the Season
Different varieties peak at different points, which is why a multi-variety program gives the smoothest supply. Here is the rough sequence:
| Variety | Availability Window | Role in the Season |
|---|---|---|
| Tommy Atkins | July–September | Opens the season; durable early fruit |
| Naomi | July–August | Visual retail star, EU and GCC |
| Owaisi | August–September | Premium specialty; starts in Aswan, then Ismailia |
| Kent | August–October | Main-season premium volume |
| Keitt | September–November | The late-season backbone; closes the season |

How Egypt’s Growing Regions Extend the Season
Egypt’s geography is a quiet advantage. Production is spread across regions that ripen at different times, which lets exporters offer a longer, more continuous window than single-region origins:
- Upper Egypt (Aswan, Luxor): the earliest fruit, opening the season.
- Ismailia: the flagship mango governorate and a core of export volume.
- Sharkia, Nubaria, Beheira: high-volume zones that sustain the peak.
This stagger means a buyer can run a continuous program from early fruit in the south through the main-season volume in the Delta, smoothing supply across months.
Planning Your Import Program Around the Egyptian Mango Season
A few practical rules help buyers get the most from the Egyptian mango season:
- Book before August. Allocation and pricing are best for buyers who commit before the peak opens.
- Combine varieties. Pairing an early variety (Timour, Naomi or Tommy Atkins) with main-season Kent and late Keitt keeps your shelves filled from July through November.
- Match freight to timing. Early, premium European orders often move by air; main-season volume to Russia and the Gulf travels by refrigerated sea.
- Confirm treatment lead time. Phytosanitary treatment (see the export requirements guide) adds steps to the schedule — plan for it.
