Agricultural exports down USD 90 mn y-o-y in 10 months

Egypt’s agricultural exports fell by USD 90 mn y-o-y to register USD 2 bn in the 10-month period from September 2016 to June 2017, Al Mal reports. The head of the agricultural exports council says the drop is caused by the restrictions on Egyptian produce imports imposed by some countries as well as price competition from other producers. Oranges and potatoes were among the top exports, one source tells the newspaper.
