Strawberry harvest is more than a seasonal activity at Mima Foods — it’s a shared process with our partners, rooted in quality, timing, and global supply responsibility. As Egypt continues to rise as a dominant force in strawberry exports, especially in the IQF sector, Mima Foods’ role as a leading IQF freezing plant and bulk frozen strawberries exporter has become increasingly significant against a backdrop of strong international demand.
Egypt’s frozen strawberry industry has achieved remarkable growth in recent years. According to official export data, Egypt attained the top global position in frozen strawberry exports in 2025, with export revenues reaching approximately $697 million, an 82% increase compared to 2024. This performance underscores the country’s competitive edge in high-value agricultural exports and strengthens its global reputation as a reliable source of quality frozen fruit.
This strong export performance reflects broader global demand. Worldwide frozen strawberry imports reached about $1.4 billion in 2024, with sustained annual growth in both value and volume, demonstrating the continuing global appetite for high-quality frozen fruit products. As part of that global trend, Mima Foods has been steadily advancing its presence in key markets across Europe, Asia, and North America by supplying premium bulk IQF strawberries in multiple product formats.
A cornerstone of Mima Foods’ offering is the variety and flexibility of its strawberry portfolio. The company processes leading varieties such as Fortuna and Festival, each chosen for its suitability to freezing and market demand. These are offered in formats tailored to partner needs — whole berries, slices, and dices, with options for both calibrated and uncalibrated products. These choices provide international buyers with the specific forms and qualities they require for manufacturing, retail, or private-label lines.
While the strawberry harvest unfolds in Egypt’s fertile fields, Mima Foods’ IQF processing facility operates in parallel to preserve taste, structure, and nutritional value at peak quality. Using advanced Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) technology, products are rapidly frozen to lock in freshness and extend shelf life, meeting the exacting expectations of global partners and distributors. This synchronization of harvest and processing is key to sustaining high-quality output on a consistent basis.
Egypt’s strategic geographic location further enhances its export capabilities, offering shorter delivery times and logistical advantages to major markets such as the European Union, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. In 2024, top importers of Egyptian frozen strawberries included China, Germany, Russia, and the United States — collectively accounting for a significant share of total export volume.
This export success is more than a number — it represents a competitive combination of climate, agricultural expertise, and investment in modern food processing infrastructure. From harvest to freezing, Mima Foods’ integrated production pipeline aligns with international standards, enabling it to meet the needs of bulk frozen fruit suppliers and private label producers alike.
As global demand for frozen fruit continues to grow, Mima Foods remains committed to strengthening its partnerships, expanding market reach, and delivering premium strawberry products that reflect both Egyptian agricultural capability and world-class IQF processing excellence.
In a global berry market that is growing in size and complexity, Egypt — led by dependable producers like Mima Foods — is not just participating but defining standards of quality and reliability for frozen strawberry exports worldwide.
