Egypt’s fresh and processed agricultural exports reached $11.5bn in 2025, accounting for about 24% of the country’s total exports, according to Agriculture and Land Reclamation Minister Alaa Farouk. Farouk said total agricultural exports amounted to 9.5 million tonnes, marking an increase of 800,000 tonnes compared to 2024. Citrus fruits topped Egypt’s export list at around 2 million tonnes, reinforcing the country’s position as the world’s largest exporter of oranges for the sixth consecutive year. Egypt also exported approximately 1.3 million tonnes of potatoes, alongside notable growth in shipments of sweet potatoes, onions, grapes, strawberries and mangoes. In parallel, it has continued to expand cultivated land and establish modern agricultural communities that support value-added supply chains.
