The most important agricultural crops exported include rice, grains, onions, garlic, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, Egyptian citrus fruits, and peanuts, for which Russia, Saudi Arabia, Britain, and the United Arab Emirates are the most important markets for these Egyptian exports.

Egypt’s food industry exports totaled $3.1 billion in the first nine months of this year, up from the $2.8 billion in the same period of 2020. This amounts to a 19% year-on-year increase and ranking third among other Egyptian sectors exporting to foreign markets, Trade and Industry Minister Nevine Gamea stated on Sunday.

Mohammed Al-Karsh, head of the council’s dates working group, said work was underway with the Egyptian General Authority for Standardization and Quality to define specifications and standards for Egyptian dates and their by-products.

The focus of the export expansion will be the European and South American markets, which currently buy around 44,000 tonnes a year of the Egyptian fruit. New species, such as Al-Medjoul and Al-Barhi dates, are being cultivated to obtain more suitable products for exports.
