Egyptian Flame Seedless grapes — the first grapes of the Uzbek season.

Why this page exists

Egypt's grape season (May–Jul) is the earliest on the Uzbek shelf — the domestic Uzbek grape crop doesn't mature until Aug. Flame Seedless is the iconic red cultivar, with bright colour and sweet crunch.

Required sections

  1. Cultivar spec — Flame Seedless, Brix 16–18, small-medium berry, bright red, seedless, good shelf.
  2. Packaging — 4.5 kg / 5 kg punnet carton, 500 g retail clamshell, private-label options.
  3. Season — May → Jul (Egypt).
  4. Routing — Air CAI-TAS for premium retail · Sea Aktau for FCL (but only early-season before heat risk).
  5. Reefer setpoint -0.5 to +0.5 °C, RH 90–95%, SO₂ pad mandatory.
  6. Shelf-life — 3–5 weeks under spec reefer with SO₂.

Required FAQs

  • Q: Why should Uzbek buyers import Egyptian grapes when Uzbekistan has its own grape crop? A: Egyptian grape season (May–Jul) is 2–3 months earlier than the Uzbek domestic crop (Aug–Oct). Early-season imported grape covers the spring gap for premium retail and HORECA.
  • Q: What SO₂ protocol do you use? A: Dual-release SO₂ pad in every carton, ISO-compliant, with pre-shipment fumigation record included in documentation.
