Egypt's main exports of food are potatoes, cotton, and fresh fruit, with citrus being a primary component.
Egypt's agricultural sector plays a significant role in its economy, and several food products are exported globally. While cotton is a significant export, it's important to note the distinction between agricultural products generally and specifically food products. Considering food exports specifically, the primary categories are:
- Potatoes: Egypt is a substantial potato producer and exporter.
- Citrus Fruits: Oranges, lemons, and other citrus fruits are major export commodities.
- Other Fresh Fruits: Including but not limited to mangoes, grapes, and strawberries.
Most of these exports are destined for markets in the European Union (EU), Russia, North Africa, and the Middle East. The demand from these regions helps drive the agricultural sector in Egypt.
