All water management makes it possible for Egypt to be a major exporter of fresh fruits and vegetables water management makes it possible for Egypt to be a major exporter of fresh fruits and vegetables compared to most world-producing countries. However, the available statistics are not all equally reliable. UN Comtrade has an export of just under 4 million tonnes.

Based on import data from all countries, this amounted to almost 3 million tonnes throughout 2019. That is quite a big difference. The exports are likely closer to 3 than 4 million tonnes.

The text of this analysis is therefore largely based on mirror data. In addition to mirror data, the tables in the appendix also include UN Comtrade data.
