According to “Fruit News” the Russian orange import in 2013 amounted more than 500 thousand tons. The main importers of this kind of citrus are Egypt & Southern Africa. In 2013 more than 70% of total Russian orange import felt to these countries share.

The oranges from three countries: Egypt, Turkey & SAR - are represented in the company’s range. But our main offer consists of “ROYAL FRUITS” Company citrus, our strategic partner in Egypt. They are imported under SOFIYA trademark, well-known to Russian consumers. The high season for Egyptian products goes on since November till April. The Turkish season comes at the same time. The RSA season lasts from April till November.
