Egyptian Table Olive Pricing
What actually moves table-olive prices, how to think about your landed cost, and how to get a current quote — not a fixed price list.
Table-olive prices move with the season, so we don't publish a fixed price list on this page — any number we printed today could be wrong by the time you read it. Instead, this page explains what actually drives pricing, and you can request a current, honest quote any time, free of charge.
What drives the price per kg
Harvest yield & weather
Egypt's main olive harvest runs through the autumn. A strong yield increases supply and softens prices into the new season; drought or an off-cycle year (olive trees follow a natural biennial bearing pattern) tightens availability.
Currency movements
Quotes and payment can be in USD or EUR. Movements in the Egyptian pound's exchange rate can affect prices between quotations. Currency volatility introduces short-term swings worth watching if you're timing an order.
Variety & caliber
Price varies by product, caliber, packaging and order volume, and is confirmed in the quotation.
Packaging & freight
Glass costs more per unit than bulk barrel; ocean freight rates and container availability also feed into your landed cost even when the FOB price hasn't moved.
An illustrative example
To show how these factors combine — not as a quote — consider a buyer sourcing Green Olives, caliber 141/160, in bulk barrel packaging, for a full 1×20ft container FOB Alexandria, landing at a Northern European port. Every figure below is a made-up number chosen only to illustrate how the pieces stack — none of it reflects Triple Company's actual current pricing.
| FOB price (made-up example) | $2.80 / kg |
| Ocean freight, Alexandria → N. Europe (made-up example) | $0.35 / kg |
| Import duty (made-up example rate) | $0.25 / kg |
| Local repacking into retail packs, optional (made-up example) | $0.15 / kg |
| Estimated landed cost (fictional total — do not quote) | $3.55 / kg |
Every number above is fictional and invented purely to demonstrate the calculation — not a quote, not a benchmark, not derived from any real Triple Company price. Actual FOB pricing depends on the current season, your exact variety/caliber/packaging, and destination, and is confirmed on request at no cost.

Requesting a current quote
When you request pricing, the fastest way to get an accurate number is to tell us: the variety and caliber you need, your preferred packaging format, your target order volume, your destination port, and which Incoterm you prefer (FOB, CIF, or CFR). We'll confirm a current, honest price against exactly those terms rather than a generic range.
