Bulk Egyptian sea salt — North Sinai and Red Sea solar salt in raw, washed and double-washed grades

Egypt Globe Group supplies bulk Egyptian sea salt wholesale to importers, distributors, refiners and end users. The salt is harvested at the North Sinai coast (El-Arish and Bardawil solar pans) and the Red Sea (Ain Sokhna), and is offered in three processing tiers that define its price and duty: raw solar salt at 94–97 % NaCl (undried, 3–5 % moisture) for stockpile, process and Type 2 de-icing use; washed salt at 97.5–98 % NaCl for industrial and kiln-dried de-icing grades; and double-washed or vacuum-evaporated salt at ≥ 99 % NaCl for food, table, pool, cosmetic, chlor-alkali and pharmaceutical lines. Sea salt is the lighter, finer-crystalled complement to the group's Siwa / Qattara rock salt (≥ 97 % NaCl, low Ca / Mg), which carries the dense lump and high-purity chemical feedstock lines.

Fifty-plus sea-salt SKUs load from 240 MT containerised to 65,000 MT vessel parcels FOB / CFR / CIF. Importers that have contracted with inconsistent regional saltworks know the seasonal failure: a late-harvest lot that arrives at 5 % moisture and 95 % NaCl against a washed-grade contract. Egypt Globe Group's Quality Assurance division has operated since incorporation in 2014, with laboratories at both saltworks and QC teams at all loading ports. Specification is guaranteed at the port of loading and binding under the sales contract; a lot outside its CoA is rejected at the port, never re-graded or renegotiated.
