Roughly May to July, landing in the gap between the end of the Southern Hemisphere programmes and the start of the European harvest. Egypt is the first Northern Hemisphere origin of the year for table grapes.

Being first is the whole position. Egyptian grapes are priced against an empty shelf, and a programme that lands three weeks late lands against Italian and Spanish fruit instead — which is a different market at a different price.
