Egypt to double Alexandria edible oil storage capacity to 150,000 tons
Egypt’s Ministry of Supply has announced plans to double the edible oil storage capacity at the Alexandria port, increasing it from the current 75,000 tons to 150,000 tons. This initiative aims to bolster the country’s food security and ensure stable supplies of vegetable oil, a critical commodity for the Egyptian market.
The project involves upgrading and expanding existing storage facilities in the Alexandria port complex, one of Egypt’s primary logistical hubs. The expansion is expected to enhance the management of oil imports and distribution, reducing reliance on global market fluctuations.
According to ministry officials, work on the expansion will begin soon, with completion targeted for 2026. The project will be funded through state investments and international partnerships. This move is part of Egypt’s broader strategy to improve infrastructure for the storage and distribution of food commodities.
Further development of the grain and oilseed markets of Ukraine and the Black Sea region will be in the spotlight of the BLACK SEA GRAIN. KYIV conference, taking place on April 22–23 in Kyiv. The event will focus on strategic directions for the agricultural sector through 2030, including investments, energy independence, processing, and exports of high-value products.
