Egypt: Grain and Feed Update

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   EG2024-0023
Egypt’s wheat imports for marketing year (MY) 2024/25 (July – June) are estimated at 12.5 million metric tons (MMT), up by 11.4 percent from Post’s earlier estimate, due to an increase in the availability of foreign currency to facilitate imports. Wheat production in MY 2024/25 is up by 200,000 MT from Post’s earlier estimate. Wheat flour exports to other Middle Eastern and African countries continue to increase as a result of the regional crisis. Corn imports are estimated at 8.0 MMT in MY 2024/25, a slight increase from Post’s earlier estimate, as corn area and production are more than offset by high input costs, lower market prices before planting, and insect pressure. Rice imports are estimated at 225,000 MT in MY 2024/25, unchanged from Post’s previous estimate.
