This weekend, the head of the Union of Horticultural Producers and Exporters (UPEHC), Mohamed Heggi, announced that this year’s Egyptian potato exports had fallen by 25%, in line with the penny. Egypt exported 673,000 tonnes of potatoes this year, far from the target. 850,000 tonnes. The main cause is the COVID crisis and has an effect on exports in general.
Despite this, Heggi noted that Egypt remains the world’s largest potato export time, adding that the overall production of the planting eras of 408,000 potato feddans, the greatest being the era of winter planting that foresees production of up to 3 million tonnes.
THE UPEHC set a unified value for potato exports, he said, so that none of the exporters would diminish the value or cause complications.
