We are the on-the-ground sourcing partner for elite US & Canadian importers. We vet the growers. We validate the quality. We orchestrate the freight. You grow your margins.
Sourcing exclusively from growers operating to international standards
Most export agents take fees from the importer and a markup from the grower — their incentives misalign with yours from day one. We charge the importer nothing. Our entire compensation comes as a commission on shipments you accept and re-sell. That single mechanic re-orients everything we do.
Every shipment is physically inspected against your written brief — brix levels, sizing, packaging, cold-chain temperatures — before a single carton leaves the packhouse.
From Damietta or Alexandria to New York, Montreal, Long Beach, or Vancouver. Reefer container booking, phytosanitary documentation, customs broker coordination — one accountable contact.
You deal with us; we deal with the source. No layered brokers inflating the price. When your buyer asks where the fruit was grown, we can tell them the village — and the family.
The job of a sourcing partner is to take risk off the importer's desk. If we add risk, we have failed — whether or not we earn a commission that month.

The categories we currently service, with the details your procurement team will ask about — calibration sizes, packing formats, harvest windows. Specific cultivars, brix targets, and grading standards are confirmed at the quoting stage against your written brief.
International produce sourcing is not complicated — it is unforgiving. A single missed certificate, an off-spec carton, a mis-set reefer, and a container becomes a write-off. Our process is built around the points where most deals fail.
You send a brief — variety, sizing, volume, target arrival window, packaging, target landed cost. We map it to the right grower in the right region for that exact harvest week.
We are physically present at the packhouse on the day of loading. The fruit is checked against your written brief — size, brix, color, defects, cold-chain — and you receive a documented inspection report before the container is sealed.
Booking, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, BL, customs broker coordination, real-time tracking. You see the container at every stage — from packhouse to your warehouse door.

Windows shown reflect typical harvest seasons in Egyptian growing regions. Specific varieties may extend or shorten these windows — ask us about the exact cultivar you need.
We only work with growers and packhouses operating to international audit standards. Every shipment travels with full documentation — ready for your customs broker, your retail buyer, and your QA team.
This is the start of a working partnership, not a generic contact form. The more specific your brief, the faster we can shortlist the right grower for the right window.
