Why French Buyers Source Loofah from Egypt

French shoppers look for natural materials and clear sourcing. EGEXO makes its loofah products from Egyptian loofah grown on our own and partner farms in the Nile Delta, processed in our own factory in Damanhour. Egyptian loofah is soft, and the towel backing, edges and ropes of our products are 100% cotton.

We have exported since 2015, to more than 40 countries. Prices are in USD, EX-Works Damanhour, with CFR, CIF and DAP on request. We reply within 24 hours.
