OUR CORE ADVANTAGE
We grow what we sell. Direct supply with zero intermediaries.
Unlike export traders who source from open spot markets, Abou El Fotouh Farms operates integrated agricultural operations in Beheira, Egypt. Direct farming ensures pesticide compliance, uniform cold-chain control, and batch-level traceability from soil to shipping container.
Farm to Port
Five stages between the field and your container.
- Stage 01
The field
Our own blocks in Beheira, on Nile Delta silt. Because we farm rather than buy on the spot market, variety selection, irrigation and spray programmes are decisions we make — not conditions we inherit from a supplier.
Block-level records
- Stage 02
Harvest at maturity
Fruit is picked at the maturity the destination requires, not at the maturity that suits a picking schedule. Crates move from the block to pre-cooling the same morning, before field heat can start working against shelf life.
Same-morning pre-cooling - Stage 03
Grading and IQF
Sorting to calibre and grade, then straight into the tunnel for the frozen lines. Individual quick freezing keeps pieces separate and cell structure intact, which is what lets a buyer pour exactly the weight they need months later.

Cold store
Cartons are palletised and held at −18°C. Temperature is the entire product at this point: every hour outside the band is shelf life a customer will never get back.

- Stage 05
Stuffing and port
Reefers are pre-cooled before stuffing and set to the temperature on the booking. Loading is documented lot by lot, so what leaves the store and what arrives on the bill of lading are the same thing.

Egyptian windows run counter to Northern Hemisphere supply — which is usually the reason buyers call us in the first place.

Who we supply
Three ways buyers work with us.
- 01
Retail & Wholesale
Consumer-unit produce built to your own specification — punnets, clamshells and retail polybags packed under your brand by the grower who controls the field the fruit came from.
- Consistent calibre and colour across the whole season, not only in the first container
- Private-label packing to your artwork, barcodes and country-of-origin declarations
- Class I grading discipline with a documented tolerance for out-of-spec fruit
- EU MRL compliance evidenced per lot and ready for your technical audit file
- 02
Food Service
Bulk formats and cut sizes for distributors, central kitchens and catering operators — 10kg cartons and foodservice cuts that portion predictably and cost out to the gram.
- Foodservice cuts held to size: 40–60mm broccoli florets, 20x20mm mango chunks, cut green beans
- 10kg master cartons at 80 cartons per pallet for straightforward cold-store rotation
- 24-month shelf life at −18°C, so a season's cover can be bought in one booking
- Published harvest windows per crop, so menu planning is built on actual availability
- 03
Food Industry & Processing
Raw material for jam, bakery, dairy, juice and ready-meal lines — diced, halved and industrial grades specified against your process, with the field record standing behind every lot.
- Industrial formats: diced 10x10mm, halves, Grade B fruit and whole arils
- Declared Brix and pH ranges per crop, so recipe yields hold between deliveries
- Block-level traceability from the field record to the container number, for your HACCP file
- Full 40ft reefer programmes agreed ahead of the season rather than bought spot
Delta Roots
Delta Roots
Delta Roots gathers the field practices that keep our land in Beheira productive from one season to the next: how we irrigate, how we rest and rebuild soil, how we employ and train, and how we write all of it down. It is a working programme rather than a report — every element can be walked through on the farm and appears in the same block-level records that follow a lot to the container door. We publish figures only once they have been independently verified; until then this page describes what we do, not what we claim to have achieved.
