The green bean season is officially underway in Egypt, and for the global frozen food supply chain, that means one thing: it’s time to stock up.
Green beans—known for their vibrant color, crisp texture, and high nutritional value—are in high demand across retail shelves, foodservice menus, and industrial kitchens worldwide. But what makes Egypt’s green bean harvest especially valuable is its unique cycle: it kicks off in January, returns at full strength from April through June, and finishes strong in November and December. That’s not just good farming—it’s strategic supply timing.
At Mima Foods, this seasonal rhythm aligns perfectly with our IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) technology. Once harvested, the beans are quickly cleaned, cut (if required), and frozen at -40°C—locking in over 90% of their original nutrients, texture, and flavor. Our advanced freezing and processing lines ensure the beans are frozen individually, not in clumps, delivering a premium-quality product with every shipment.
For buyers, this season means more than availability—it means opportunity.
“With green beans available for more than half the year, and at peak volumes in spring and early winter, our clients can plan and purchase with confidence,” says a spokesperson from Mima’s supply team. “The consistency of the Egyptian harvest combined with our IQF process allows distributors and foodservice buyers to access a fresh, high-performing product—ready for private-label development, retail packaging, or bulk service use.”
Thanks to Egypt’s favorable climate and Mima’s close ties with local farms, the green bean harvest is not only long but highly reliable. Every bean processed at Mima Foods is traceable back to certified farms, many of which operate under Global GAP compliance. And once in our facility, the green beans are frozen within just 2–4 hours of harvest, ensuring maximum freshness and minimized nutrient loss.
Whether you’re managing a supermarket chain, running food production lines, or distributing to high-volume kitchens, this season’s green beans are ready to move—in bulk volumes and tailor-made packaging.
Mima’s harvest calendar is designed to help clients align sourcing strategies with natural crop cycles—lowering costs, improving quality, and reducing supply chain volatility.

With peak season approaching fast, Mima Foods is currently processing and shipping green beans to partners across Europe, the Middle East, and North America. Large volumes are being booked now for late spring and early summer delivery, with frozen loads already rolling out of our 13,000m² facility.
