Egypt Fresh Strawberry insights

A number of exporters revealed the actual value after the Ministry of Agriculture announced a 20% reduction in intellectual property fees for strawberry exports in a statement published last Monday, where they were reduced by about $10 per ton. Dr. Mohamed El-Mansy, head of the Egyptian Agricultural Quarantine, announced last Monday that the quarantine had succeeded in negotiating with the company that owns the intellectual property rights for most varieties of strawberries planted for export to reduce the value of intellectual property rights protection fees for those varieties by 20%, which are exported to the Gulf countries. A statement issued by the ministry confirmed that these efforts were made within the framework of the instructions of Alaa Farouk, Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, to make efforts to facilitate the flow of Egyptian agricultural exports and in light of the start of the fresh strawberry export season. Abu Islam Mohamed (a strawberry exporter from Beheira) said that this value after the reduction is $1,000 for a 25-ton container instead of $1,250 deducted from the value that the agent producing strawberry seedlings, the American “Ekland”, used to receive. He called on the Ministry of Agriculture to solve the problems that still face the export of strawberries despite its recent efforts, which is the inability to export.

The report added that timing is one of the most important factors that the Agricultural Quarantine worked on to implement this export season to drive exports and development and obtain economic returns for the Arab Republic of Egypt while maintaining the status of Egyptian agricultural exports.
