Egypt: Egypt’s Import Supply of European-Origin Seed Potatoes Challenged

European suppliers are Egypt’s sole source of seed potatoes; Egypt is largely dependent on seed potato imports for its domestic potato production. Egypt has yet to approve market access for U.S. seed potato. Egypt’s yearly imports of seed potatoes average $85 million (CY 2015-17).
