이집트 신선 토마토 인사이트

The Export Council for Agricultural Crops has notified potato companies wishing to export to European Union countries that they will be subject to a re-evaluation by the Agricultural Quarantine. Sources revealed to Al Mal that these companies, which export to European Union countries and have registered stations for exporting potatoes, are required to quickly go to the Agricultural Quarantine Exporters Service Department to submit a request to re-evaluate their station. The governorate markets witnessed a significant decline in tomato and potato prices after the appearance of the winter crop, which is currently being harvested, while farmers complained about the low prices compared to the cost. The prices of refrigerator potatoes in the markets are recorded at 15 and 20 pounds per kilo, and new potatoes are 10 pounds per kilo for the consumer. The sources confirmed that the significant decline in prices is due to the arrival of the winter season of potatoes, which are currently sold from the ground at a price of only 5,000 pounds per ton, noting that one acre produces 8 tons to achieve sales worth 40 thousand pounds while it costs 80 thousand pounds, which means a loss of 50% of the capital, without rent, and if it is calculated, the cost jumps by 180 thousand pounds. Regarding tomatoes, Abu Islam Maz said:

Abu Saddam pointed out that this season's winter crop of tomatoes represents approximately 45% of tomato cultivation in Egypt after increasing the areas of cultivation.

Hatem El-Nagib, Vice President of the Vegetables and Fruits Division at the Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce, said in a statement to "Akhbar El-Youm Gate" that we are now at the beginning of introducing the Nile crop of tomatoes, which has led to an increase in supply in the markets and consequently a decrease in the price of tomatoes, noting that Egypt is currently witnessing a major agricultural boom through the expansion of the agricultural projects that it has implemented. The head of the Vegetables Division added that in the coming few days, potato prices will also decrease because the crop has been harvested in Alexandria, noting that all vegetable and fruit prices in the markets are low and within the reach of all citizens. It is worth noting that Egypt's tomato exports ranked ninth with a total of 37,146 thousand tons out of the total exports that amounted to 7.1 million tons. Egypt's agricultural exports amounted to about $4.1 billion, an increase of $1 billion over the same period last year. The total area planted with tomatoes is about 520 thousand acres, and they are grown in three seasons, including the summer and winter Nile crops. Tomatoes are grown in the governorates of Beheira, Ismailia, Fayoum, Sohag, Beni Suef, Minya and Qena. Giza, Alexandria and Sharkia Read also | Tomatoes for 30 pounds
