Typically for grapes, they are picked up from farms, stored into plastic boxes, then loaded on trucks to be transported to the packing houses. Most suppliers want to make sure that they don’t transport their grapes to far packing houses, so they usually use the packing houses closer to the farms they are packing up the product from. Grapes are usually shipped in containers via sea. Main ports are Alexandria, Damietta, Ain Sokhna & Port Said.
