Egypt’s processed food exports hit a record high in 2024, surpassing $6.1 billion, an increase of $1.059 billion, up 21 per cent growth from 2023, Food Export Council (FEC) chairman Mahmoud Bazan reported on Sunday.

Bazan made these remarks during a press conference, where he highlighted the sector’s expansion into Arab, European, and American markets, alongside strengthened trade relations with African countries.

This is the highest export value in the history of the sector, reaffirming the competitiveness of Egyptian food products in global markets, supported by government efforts to enhance non-oil exports, as per FEC’s statement.
