Egypt Agriculture Export
Egypt’s agricultural sector is making headlines globally, as highlighted in a recent report by the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation.
From January to mid-October 2024, the country exported over 6.9 million tons of agricultural goods.
These exports generated an impressive USD 4.04 billion (EGP 196.3 billion) in revenue,a remarkable increase of nearly USD 1 billion compared to the same period last year.
This data, shared by Alaa Farouk, Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, reflects Egypt’s steady ascent in international markets.
Egypt’s produce is turning heads worldwide, with citrus fruits leading the charge.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, over 2.27 million tons of citrus were exported in 2024, solidifying their position as a global favorite.
Close on their heels are potatoes, with exports reaching 973,130 tons this year. This figure highlights their increasing popularity, especially in European and Gulf markets.
Onions also made a strong showing, contributing 281,785 tons to the export tally. These staple vegetables are an essential part of cuisines globally, and their demand continues to grow.
Beyond these top performers, Egypt’s export basket includes a variety of crops such as beans, grapes, sweet potatoes, mangoes, and pomegranates.
This diversity, as documented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, underscores the country’s ability to meet varied global preferences
Egypt isn’t stopping with today’s milestones. The Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation has set an ambitious target: reaching USD 9.2 billion (EGP 446.2 billion) in agricultural export revenues by the end of 2024.
Breaking this down, USD 4.2 billion (EGP 203.9 billion) is expected to come from fresh produce, while USD 5 billion (EGP 242.9 billion) will stem from processed and frozen goods.
These projections show Egypt’s commitment to not only increasing export volume but also enhancing value through higher-margin products, as emphasized in official reports.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, Egypt currently exports to 165 countries, including key markets in Europe, the Gulf, Africa, and the Americas.
While these numbers are impressive, maintaining and expanding this footprint will depend on prioritizing quality over quantity.
Global consumers demand fresh, safe, and sustainably grown produce, and Egypt is uniquely positioned to deliver on these expectations.
By focusing on quality, Egyptian farmers and exporters can build a reputation that ensures lasting trust and loyalty in international markets
The success of Egypt’s agricultural exports, as noted by the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, is the result of collaboration across the sector.
Together, these efforts create a seamless process that showcases the best of Egypt’s agriculture to the world.

Today’s consumers are not only looking for affordable options but also for produce that stands out in terms of taste, safety, and sustainability.
Egypt’s emphasis on quality isn’t just about meeting current demands; it’s about securing a place in new markets and strengthening relationships with existing buyers.
This approach ensures resilience in the face of changing global trends and positions Egyptian exports as a premium choice.
The data shared by the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation reveals not only opportunities but also the challenges facing the sector. Issues like water scarcity and climate change require innovative solutions.
These initiatives are vital to turning challenges into stepping stones for growth.
