Egypt is starting to become a serious player on the citrus market, says Jaguar

The share of Egyptian oranges in the EU market is increasing and is starting to find its place, writes Jaguar purchasing manager Christian de Haas for Fresh Plaza. “The quality of the citrus is getting better every year, and is now just as good as Spanish citrus,” Christian continues. While Egypt’s citrus is not considered as good as the Moroccan and Spanish variety, Egypt’s price competitiveness, rooted in lower production costs are making them more popular, he says.
