Egypt has entered the peak of mango harvest as the temperature rises in July and August.
According to Egypt's Farmer Union, the mango season this year is better than the last one in terms of production quantities, as the season is not exposed to any external factors.
The prices of mangoes range from 10 to 30 Egyptian pounds (about 0.5-1.5 U.S. dollars) per kilogram.
The most well-known mango varieties are "Alfs," "Al-Owais," "Sukari" and "Butterfly."
Mango gardens and farms in Egypt have exceeded 300,000 acres, with Ismailia alone taking up 120,000 acres of them.
According to a statement from the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture, mango exports this year reached 694 tons, from the beginning of the season to the peak harvest.
The mango picking season in the country will last until the end of the year.
