Product Description
Executing a successful potatoes export from Egypt contract demands rigorous field monitoring, strict size calibration, and reefer cold-chain management during transit. QIRAT exports agricultural-grade fresh potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) directly from our managed farm acreage in New Nubaria, located within recognized pest-free zones. By overseeing operations from seed selection and harvest timing through to washing, sizing, and bagging, we eliminate intermediary handling risks and supply international buyers with uniform, high-clarity tubers.
Our commercial strategy centers on risk mitigation, transparent sampling, and strict contract specification compliance rather than unachievable claims of perfection. Grown in light, well-drained sandy soil that yields bright, smooth skin finishes, our potatoes—including table varieties like Spunta and processing varieties like Lady Rosetta and Hermes—undergo multi-stage mechanical sorting and manual inspection to fulfill the phytosanitary and quality standards of European, Gulf, and Russian markets.
