Egypt: Egypt's Food Processing Ingredients Competitive Landscape

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Egypt imported some $4 billion worth of food ingredients in 2017. The United States, the eighth largest supplier with roughly $138 million in sales, accounts for about 4 percent of the sector’s import market share. Egypt is exporting over $2.8 billion in processed and manufactured foods mainly to the Middle East. There are 339 million potential consumers within 500 kilometers of its borders. U.S.- origin food ingredients face competition from European, Middle Eastern and increasingly African-origin exports. These suppliers maintain preferential trade arrangements with Egypt, which provide favorable tariff treatment.
