Introduction

Source your next container of bulk radish seed directly from Egypt — ISTA-tested Raphanus sativus in red globe and white for commercial growers, sprout producers and cover crop programmes.

Radish seed is bought at container scale by three quite different buyers, and they want different things from it.

Vegetable growers want uniform emergence and true-to-type roots — radish is the fastest field crop most of them run, at 25–35 days from sowing to harvest, so an uneven stand shows up immediately.

Sprout and microgreen producers want high germination and clean seed above all, because seed quality translates directly into yield and food safety in a sprouting operation.

Cover crop and green manure programmes buy bulk radish seed by the tonne to improve soil structure. Radish develops deep taproots that help break soil compaction and capture residual nutrients. This is one of the key high-volume applications for radish seeds, making it well suited for container quantities.

Available Varieties

Choose the type that best matches your programme:

Red Globe Radish Seed — the classic round salad radish: fast, bright, uniform. The standard type for fresh market and bunching production.

White Radish Seeds — daikon and long white types, grown for larger roots used in East Asian and Middle Eastern cooking, pickling, and processing. White radish seeds are a distinct commercial line from red globe, with a longer growing period and a different market.

Private label packing — custom bags and labelling for seed distributors selling under their own brand.

Agronomic profile:

• Germination time: 3–7 days
• Optimal soil temperature: 15–25°C. Heat causes bolting and pithy, woody roots rather than crisp ones.
• Days to Harvest: 25–35 days for red radish types; approximately 45 days or longer for white and Daikon types, depending on variety and growing conditions.
• Sow shallowly, roughly 10–20 mm, and thin adequately — crowded radish produces leaves instead of roots
• Succession sowing: Radish seeds every 7–14 days maintains continuous supply, which suits the crop’s short cycle

Packaging, Shelf Life & Storage

Packing Configurations:

• 25 kg bags
• Customized and private-label packing available on request

Shelf Life: Up to 12 months under proper storage conditions. Germination naturally declines with age, so ISTA testing of the current lot is recommended to confirm its viability.

Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry environment, protected from humidity.

Supply Capacity & What Affects Radish Seed Price

Supply Capacity:

• MOQ: 10 MT, flexible for regular buyers
• Regular shipping availability
• Contract-based programs for continuous annual-volume supply
• Volume terms: free fumigation and insurance on qualifying orders

What Affects Radish Seed Price:

• Variety: Balady White | Round Red | Chinese/Daikon — each variety is quoted at its own price.
• Purity grade. More cleaning passes cost more and result in higher prices.
• Crop year. Crop Year: Radish seeds hold viability well, but current-crop seed may be priced differently from carryover. Check our harvest season to plan your purchase according to the crop season.
• Volume and contract term. Cover crop programmes buy in tonnage tiers; vegetable growers buy smaller.

Because radish seed price varies according to these factors, we quote each shipment individually rather than publish a fixed rate. Send us your type, volume, germination requirement, and we will quote against it.

FAQs

Q1. Who are we? We are a third-generation family business established in 2007, with family roots in the herb trade going back to 1960. We process our products in two facilities: manual processing for delicate products and mechanized sorting and processing.

Q2. What types of radish seeds do you supply? Red globe for fresh market and bunching, and white radish seeds (daikon types) for larger roots and pickling. Tell us the end use and we will direct you to the right type — they are priced quite differently.

Q3. How fast does radish grow from seed? Salad types emerge in 3–7 days and reach harvest in 25–35 days, which makes radish seeds for planting one of the fastest crops in commercial vegetable production. White and daikon types take considerably longer.

Q4. Is radish seed suitable for sprouting? Radish sprouts are a major commercial category, but sprouting seed is judged on germination and cleanliness to a higher standard than field seed. Tell us at the quotation stage if the seed is for sprouting so we can confirm we are offering suitable material.

Q5. How long does radish seed stay viable? The Radish seed’s shelf life is 12 months under proper storage conditions. After this period, germination gradually declines with age, so we recommend ISTA testing of the current lot to confirm germination.

Q6. What is the MOQ, and how can I verify my order? Contact us — our seed lines run from 6 to 22 MT minimums depending on the product, and we are flexible for regular buyers. You can verify your order through a factory visit, video verification, or third-party inspection such as SGS at the buyer’s expense. Explore Our Process

Q7. Do you seek long-term relationships with buyers? Yes. We serve customers across 21 countries spanning the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, the Gulf region, and Australia. We want every first shipment, and every shipment that follows, to strengthen trust and build a lasting partnership.
