Egypt purchased a large batch of Russian wheat

The Egyptian state agency Mostakbal Misr purchased a large batch of Russian wheat from JSC “OZK” for shipment this month. It is reported by Reuters.

The exact volume of purchases and prices were not disclosed. The wheat will be delivered on four ships flying the Egyptian flag.

Last week, Mostakbal Misr, which was transferred from GASC at the end of 2024, signed wheat supply agreements with European suppliers, including barter agreements, which will allow it to diversify food imports. However, the agency does not provide information on volumes, prices, and origin of the grain. So far, it is known that 28 thousand tons of Russian wheat arrived in Egypt for Mostakbal Misr at the end of December, and another 33 thousand tons of grain from Russia were booked under a private agreement in early January.

Currently, there is no information about supplies from other countries to Egypt after the change of the state purchaser.
