Egypt continues to solidify its presence in the Canadian orange market, achieving a record-breaking surge in exports, according to EastFruit.
Between November 2024 and August 2025, Egyptian exporters shipped over 25,000 tons of oranges to Canada, generating more than $20 million in revenue. This marks a new seasonal high, 50% greater than the previous season and 3.3 times more than the volume exported in 2022/23. Over the past three seasons, Egypt’s orange exports to Canada have skyrocketed nearly thirtyfold.
The export window for Egyptian oranges typically spans January through July, with peak volumes occurring from February to April. This year, March saw the highest monthly shipment at 7,200 tons, nearly matching the total volume exported during the entire 2022/23 season.
The Canadian orange market is primarily supplied by the United States and South Africa, which together account for 60-70% of total imports. U.S. oranges dominate from December to May, while South African shipments lead from July to October.

Morocco has also expanded its orange exports to Canada, while Spain’s volumes have declined for the third consecutive season. Additionally, exporters from Australia, Turkey, and Peru each contributed over 1,000 tons. In total, oranges were imported into Canada from 40 countries this season.
Egypt has also achieved record growth in orange exports to Brazil and Argentina, further underscoring its rising global footprint in the citrus trade.
