Why buyers choose Egyptian Red Globe

Red Globe’s defining feature is berry size — large, firm, deep-red berries with strong visual impact that command premium pricing in Asia and Russia. Its firmness and thick skin make it one of the most robust grapes in transit, holding condition over long sea routes to distant markets. For buyers serving Asian wholesale and Russian retail, Red Globe is the calibre-led choice.

Packaging & cold chain

Red Globe is packed in 4.5 kg / 5 kg cartons or 500 g consumer punnets, on ventilated pallets with sulphur-dioxide (SO₂) generator pads to suppress Botrytis (grey mould) in transit, held at −0.5 °C to 0 °C and 90–95% RH. Grapes are highly perishable and need an unbroken cold chain — see our cold-chain storage temperatures reference and grading & size standards.
