These figures are based on a report received by the minister from Mohamed El-Mansy, Head of the Central Administration for Agricultural Quarantine, highlighting the progress of Egyptian agricultural exports to date.
The report showed that the list of agricultural exports was topped by citrus fruits with over 1.9 million tons, while fresh potatoes come second with more than 1.3 million tons.
The list also included beans, both fresh and dry, sweet potatoes, onions, grapes, mangoes, fresh tomatoes, pomegranates, fresh garlic, fresh strawberries, and guavas.
Farouk emphasized that this continued growth in agricultural exports reflects the ongoing development in the agricultural sector and its competitive strength in global markets.

Egyptian Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, Alaa Farouk, announced that Egypt’s total agricultural exports have reached approximately 7.5 million tons so far this year—an increase of about 650,000 tons compared to the same period last year.
