West African countries are heavily dependent on imports for the supply of essential fresh produce, such as potatoes and onions. However, penetrating West African markets will not be an easy task for Egyptian exporters, concedes Abdelhay. Abdelhay continued: "At Arafa Company, we have the capacity to play a key role in opening up and supplying West African markets. We are one of Egypt's leading producers and exporters of fresh potatoes, with extensive experience in exporting fresh Egyptian potatoes (especially processing potatoes) to various markets such as Spain, Belgium, Croatia, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Lebanon, Iraq and others. "It's an experience that is in line with the needs of West African countries.
