Egypt Tops Arab Wheat Production

FAO estimates show that Egypt's wheat production increased by 6.5% in 2026, reaching over 10 million tons, making it the leading Arab country in production. This growth results from expanding cultivated areas and increasing productivity, with cultivated land rising to 3.76 million feddans—an unprecedented increase of approximately 600,000 feddans compared to the previous year. Additionally, imports declined to 12.5 million tons from 13.2 million tons the previous year. The Egyptian government also continued developing high-yield varieties suited to local climatic conditions and raised purchase prices to motivate farmers, all of which contributed to boosting domestic production and reducing reliance on imports.
