Egyptian Grapes Season Overview Report

Hot weather causes early start and high production for the Egyptian grape season

The Egyptian grapes season started a little earlier than expected, around May. The early arrival was caused mostly by hot weather, as Egypt has dealt with 45 degrees Celsius temperatures.

There will be higher production for the grapes in Egypt this season, combined with solid demand at the moment. The red grape varieties, such as Red Varieties Flame, Red Globe, and Crimson, are gaining ground as these grapes contain high levels of Brix. The Arabian countries prefer grapes with high Brix levels, whilst European countries prefer lower levels.
