Six Reasons to Work With Us
What You Get When You Source from Alfa Fruits Co.
Each of these points represents a specific, tangible advantage for your supply chain — not marketing language.
GlobalG.A.P. Certified Supply Chain
Every field in our supply network holds GlobalG.A.P. certification — the international benchmark for food safety, traceability, and sustainable agriculture. This is not a marketing claim. It means every box that leaves our packing house carries a certificate number, a farm record, and a full audit trail back to the point of harvest.
- Certificate numbers available on request before order placement
- Full traceability from harvest to your warehouse
- Residue test results provided as standard on request
- Compliant with EU Regulation EC 178/2002 traceability requirements
Early Season Advantage — Before Competitors
Egypt's climate produces harvests 4 to 6 weeks earlier than Spain, Morocco and Turkey for many key products. This means you can offer your customers fresh Egyptian produce during the window when European-grown supply is exhausted and competing import origins haven't reached peak volume yet. First-to-market means better margins for you.
- Citrus season opens October — ahead of most competing origins
- Green onions and alliums available from early autumn
- Strawberries from November — before Spanish peak season
- Year-round availability across our full product basket
Full Cold Chain — From Field to Your Door
Temperature integrity is not optional in fresh produce. Our cold chain begins at the packing house with immediate pre-cooling after harvest, continues through temperature-controlled storage, and is maintained in refrigerated containers throughout transit. Your produce arrives at the condition it left our facility.
- Pre-cooling to target temperature before loading
- Reefer containers as standard — no ambient mixing
- Temperature logging available for sensitive shipments
- Cold chain protocols adjusted for extended Cape route transits
Consistent Weekly Container Capacity
We maintain contracted relationships with growers and packing houses specifically to guarantee consistent weekly capacity — not opportunistic spot buying. Whether you need 1 container a week or 5, our supply chain is structured to deliver reliably across seasons, without the gaps that come from sourcing without forward planning.
- 1–2 containers per week currently shipping to European buyers
- 4–5 containers per week capacity available for Gulf markets
- Surplus capacity available — contact us to discuss volume
- Advance booking available to lock in seasonal supply
Flexible Ports & Fast Documentation
We load primarily through Alexandria and Damietta — two of Egypt's most efficient export ports for fresh produce — but can arrange loading through other Egyptian ports as required. Our in-house team handles customs clearance, phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin and all export documentation, reducing friction for your import process.
- Primary ports: Alexandria and Damietta
- Additional ports arranged on request
- Full documentation pack provided with every shipment
- EU-format certificates and HACCP records standard
