Egypt boosts wheat output, cuts imports by 23

Egypt plans to increase its wheat production during the 2026-2027 season to approximately 10 million metric tons, representing an 8.6% rise compared to the previous season. This growth is attributed to expanding cultivated areas to 1.5 million hectares and improving productivity. Additionally, imports are expected to decrease by 23%, with around 12 million metric tons to be imported, driven by a reduced reliance on imports from Russia and Ukraine despite disruptions in the Black Sea. The rise in government supply prices has encouraged farmers to grow more wheat, and Egypt achieved a record harvest last season, with larger strategic reserves to ensure food security.
