Question 1

What sweet potato varieties does DeltaMasr export?

Accepted Answer

DeltaMasr Fresh exports two primary premium Egyptian sweet potato varieties: Bellevue and Beauregard. Bellevue is renowned for its uniform elongated shape, smooth copper-bronze skin, and deep radiant orange flesh with outstanding post-curing shelf stability. Beauregard features high natural sweetness, soft moist orange pulp, and high yield characteristics. Both varieties are cultivated in virgin sandy soils in Wadi El Natroun and calibrated to Class 1 European retail export standards.

Question 2

What is the curing process and shelf life of Egyptian sweet potatoes?

Accepted Answer

DeltaMasr operates automated curing facilities where freshly harvested sweet potatoes undergo a strict 5 to 7-day curing protocol at 28°C to 30°C temperature and 90% to 95% relative humidity. This process triggers skin suberization (thickening and healing of skin abrasions) and enzymatically converts starches into complex sugars, elevating natural sweetness to 12.0°–14.5° Brix. Post-curing, tubers are conditioned at +13.0°C to +15.0°C, extending seafreight and retail shelf life up to 6 to 9 months without sprouting or weight loss.
