Stone fruit is a summer pleasure with a relatively short, sequential season — apricots first, then peaches, nectarines and plums — and Egypt’s warmth gives it an early start in the Mediterranean basin. For importers, that means an early-window opportunity and a fruit-by-fruit calendar to plan around. This guide sets out the season and how to plan around it.
Quick answer: Egyptian stone fruit runs from late spring into summer, with apricots typically opening the season and peaches, nectarines and plums following. Egypt’s warm climate gives an early Mediterranean-basin window. (The season runs late spring into summer, apricots first; exact windows shift year to year with weather.)

An early, sequential summer window
Stone fruit ripens through the warm months, and Egypt’s climate brings an early season relative to cooler Mediterranean producers. The fruits come in sequence — apricots first, then peaches and nectarines, with plums spanning the period — giving a rolling stone-fruit program across the season.

| Early summer | Peaches & nectarines | Main stone-fruit flow |

Planning notes
- Early premium: target the apricot opening and earliest peaches for the best early-window prices.
- Rolling program: plan a fruit-by-fruit sequence across the season.
- Perishability: stone fruit is delicate — plan tight logistics and consider airfreight for premium.
