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 June to November. July is dominated by local varieties for the domestic market, the commercial export season opens in August with Keitt and Kent, and shipments peak from August through November. Fresh mango is generally available from June to September, after which late Keitt and frozen product carry the tail of the season into winter.
For buyers, three dates matter most: June (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.
Month-by-Month Egyptian Mango Season Calendar
| Month | Stage | What Is Available |
|---|---|---|
| June | Early season begins | Tommy Atkins and early Owaisi (from Aswan); Kent starts mid-month |
| July | Local focus / ramp-up | Mainly local varieties (Zebda) for the domestic market; volume building |
| August | Export season opens | Keitt, Kent, Naomi 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 | Tail / frozen | Late Keitt tail; frozen mango takes over |
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 | June–July | Opens the season; durable early fruit |
| Kent | Mid-June–August | Early premium volume |
| Owaisi | Early–September | Premium specialty; starts in Aswan, then Ismailia |
| Naomi | Mid–late season | Visual retail star, EU and GCC |
| Keitt | August–December | The backbone; longest window, carries the tail |

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 (Tommy Atkins or Kent) with main-season Keitt and Naomi keeps your shelves filled from June into December.
- 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.
