Why buyers choose Egyptian Superior Seedless

Superior’s large, crisp berries and bright appearance make it a natural early-season white for European retail programmes. Arriving at the start of Egypt’s window, it lets importers open their grape line with a premium white seedless before competing origins are available. Good size and uniformity support strong shelf presentation.

Packaging & cold chain

Superior Seedless 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.
