An Egyptian grower that learned to export

Tiba Food is an Egyptian-owned company growing, packing and exporting fresh fruit, vegetables and herbs. The journey started in 2002 with fresh herbs; the farms, the packhouses and the export book grew out of it.

Who we are

A grower, a packer
and an exporter

Many of the world's largest food retailers count on us every week for a steady, high-quality supply of fruit and vegetables for their stores. We build long relationships with those customers and put our expertise at their service, jointly developing an offer that works for their business rather than ours.

Our expertise rests on more than two decades in a demanding and competitive sector. Tiba Food is one of the larger grower-exporters in Egypt and a financially stable organisation whose core values are integrity, transparency and partnership.

  • Our own land. Three farms across four sites, 4,300 acres of some of the most fertile soil in Egypt, accredited to GLOBALG.A.P. and ISO 9001.
  • A supervised supply base. Beyond our own fields, out-growers are closely supervised against the same written standards, so supply holds all year.
  • Our own packhouses. A citrus packhouse and a soft fruit packhouse, both BRC-certified, working only to the customer's programme and specification.

Where the produce comes from

Our land is planted with one purpose: supplying premium-grade produce to the global market. Crop management and packing follow the customer's programme, their specification and the relevant international standards, which is what keeps food safety and quality at an industry-leading level.
