Egypt

Olive oil production in Egypt is a burgeoning industry with a rich historical backdrop. The country's climate, characterized by hot summers and mild winters, provides an ideal environment for olive cultivation, especially in areas like Sinai and the North Coast. Autochthonous varieties like Nabali and Toffahi are predominant. The harvest typically occurs from October to December, when the olives are mostly handpicked. Egypt has been striving to enhance its production techniques and expand export capabilities in recent years, aiming to become a notable player in the global olive oil market.
