A promising lemon campaign for Egypt

Fatima Elzhraa says, "At Alsolimania, we launched our Lemon campaign with the variety " Adalia " From 1st Oct to 20th Feb. There is currently a good demand due to the shortage in the market, resulting from the gap between the end of the South African campaign and the beginning of the Egyptian campaign. We expect a good season for all exporters. The great interest we saw at Fruit Attraction for lemons and Egyptian citrus in general is an indication of great demand."

Egypt exported nearly 100 thousand tons of lemon last season, and Fatima Elzhraa says she expects even greater volumes, "last season was already successful, our company exported 3,544 tons equivalent to 106 containers to Russia, Italy, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Gulf Market. This season we're taking advantage of strong demand, having increased our cultivated area by 25%."
