Egyptian grower & exporter · since 2002

Egyptian produce, grown and shipped by one company.

Tiba Food grows fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs on its own farms, packs them in its own BRC-certified packhouses, and ships them to retailers across Europe, the Gulf, Asia and Africa.

What we export

Four ranges, one cold chain

Citrus, fruit, vegetables and herbs — grown on our land or by out-growers we supervise, and packed on our own lines.

Why importers choose us

A grower first,
an exporter second

Most of what we ship we also planted. That is the whole difference: when the specification is agreed in the office, it is agreed with the people who decide what goes in the ground.

  • Planted to your programme. Our fields are planted for export, not sold into it. Crop management and packing follow the customer's programme and specification.
  • Out-growers under supervision. Beyond our own land we work with a supplying base that is closely supervised against the same written standards, which is how we hold a year-round supply.

Field to vessel

How a container moves

Four checkpoints between the field and the buyer’s receiving dock.

01

Growing

Planted on our own farms or by supervised out-growers, under an integrated crop management system with the variety and harvest window agreed in advance.

02

Grading

Sized and hand-graded to the written specification at the citrus or soft fruit packhouse, with rejected fruit pulled off the line.

03

Packing

Pre-cooled, packed to your format, labelled to your artwork, then held in cold rooms until vessel cut-off.

04

Shipping

Reefer sea with Maersk, CMA CGM and MSC, or air with Emirates, EgyptAir and Etihad when the lead time demands it.
