A pomegranate size chart converts a count into a fruit weight and a diameter, which is the only way two parties in different countries can agree what they are buying. Egyptian export pomegranate is sold by count per carton, not by millimetre, so a buyer asking for size 10 is asking for ten fruit in a 4.5 kg tray, or about 450 g each. The tables below give the full count range PEI Trade packs for the 2026/2027 Wonderful and 116 season.
Counts, weights and diameters
Weights below are derived from a 4.5 kg net tray divided by the count. Diameter bands are indicative rather than contractual, because fruit shape varies between Wonderful and 116 at the same weight.
| Count per 4.5 kg tray | Average fruit weight | Indicative diameter | Where it usually goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 560 g | 105 to 115 mm | Gulf premium retail, gift packs |
| 9 | 500 g | 100 to 108 mm | Gulf and EU retail |
| 10 | 450 g | 95 to 103 mm | The most requested export count |
| 11 | 410 g | 92 to 98 mm | EU retail, wholesale |
| 12 | 375 g | 88 to 95 mm | Wholesale, food service |
| 14 | 320 g | 83 to 90 mm | Wholesale, juicing programmes |
| 16 | 280 g | 78 to 85 mm | Juicing and processing |
Carton formats and what fits a container
Three formats cover almost all Egyptian pomegranate shipments. The 4.5 kg single-layer tray is the retail format and the one the size chart above is built on. The 9 kg two-layer carton carries the same counts at double the quantity and is used for wholesale. Bulk 10 kg cartons are packed to a weight rather than a count and are only suitable where the buyer regrades on arrival.
| Format | Net weight | Sold by | Approx cartons per 40 ft HC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-layer tray | 4.5 kg | Count | 4,400 to 4,600 |
| Two-layer carton | 9 kg | Count | 2,200 to 2,300 |
| Bulk carton | 10 kg | Weight | 1,950 to 2,050 |
All three land in the same place, at roughly 20 tonnes of fruit in a 40 ft high-cube reefer. Pallet count and carton count vary with pallet footprint and stacking height, so treat the figures above as planning numbers and confirm the exact pallet pattern on the proforma.
How to specify a size on the order
State the count, the carton format and the tolerance together. A workable clause reads: 4.5 kg single-layer tray, count 10, minimum 90 percent of fruit within the declared count, balance one count either side. Without a tolerance clause a size dispute has nothing to be measured against. Season windows and variety differences between Wonderful and 116 are covered in the Egyptian pomegranate export guide, and how Egyptian fruit sits against other origins is in the origin comparison.
PEI Trade exports this fruit and is not a neutral grading authority. The counts above are the ones our packhouses run.
