In a six-month period, Egypt reached a high number of strawberry exports, totaling 45 thousand tons at a value of $129 million, despite unfavorable weather and high production prices.

Despite a challenging last season due to high rainfall, temperatures, and strawberry prices, the country maintains a high-ranking position in the frozen strawberry market, holding 20% of the world market share.

In 2024, Egypt exported approximately 120,000 metric tons of frozen strawberries, marking a 15% increase from the previous year. The total export value reached $180 million, up from $156 million in 2023. The biggest trade partners of the commodity are Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands.

In the 2022-23 season, Egypt made a remarkable entry into the ranks of major suppliers of fresh strawberries to Kazakhstan and has kept its spot well into the 2023-24 season. 

Egypt's strawberry exports comprise 2% of Egyptian exports and 6% of export value. From September 2023 to February 2024 Egypt exported around 2.82 million tons, worth about $2 billion of fruits and vegetables.
