Authorities will complete unloading the shipment of poppy seed-containing Romanian wheat on Tuesday, a source at the Agriculture Ministry told Reuters. 43k tonnes out of a total of 63k tonnes were unloaded so far, the source noted, and no amounts have been sieved yet. Meanwhile, the entry of British wheat into the Egyptian market will depend on the offers it presents and not on any prior negotiation or agreement, a government source told Al Mal. The Brits expressed interest last week in exporting to Egypt with the view that the normal market for their surplus, Europe, may not be available after Brexit.
