Egypt Planning To Import 4Mln Tonnes Of Wheat For Bread Production In 2023
Egypt intends to import 4 million tonnes of wheat in 2023 for state-subsidized bread production, Egyptian Supply and Internal Trade Minister Ali Moselhi told Sputnik on Monday.
“The annual consumption of wheat (for state-subsidized bread production) in Egypt is estimated at 9 million tonnes.
This year we plan to receive 5 million tonnes of local wheat and import 4 million tonnes,” Moselhi said.
Russia is the main supplier of wheat to Egypt. Before the start of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine in February, Cairo also imported a significant amount of grain from Ukraine.
