Egypt: Citrus Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   EG2023-0030
In marketing year (MY) 2023/24, FAS/Cairo forecasts fresh orange exports to reach 2.0 million metric tons (MMT) up from 1.6 MMT in MY 2022/23. Post attributes this increase to higher yields per hectare, amid favorable environmental conditions, success in opening new markets for Egyptian oranges, and a successful traceability system in registering and monitoring farm production. The Netherlands, Russia, Saudi Arabia, India, United Arab Emirates, Spain, Bangladesh, Syria, China, and United Kingdom are likely to remain Egypt’s top ten export destinations for fresh oranges.
