Gov’t to issue streamlined guide on wheat imports

Gov’t to issue streamlined guide on wheat imports: The government will issue a streamlined guide on wheat imports within two weeks that will detail all specifications, procedures, and regulations for traders selling to Egypt, Supply Minister Ali Moselhy told Reuters. The guide will not include new regulations, but will combine all relevant rules and specifications, publishing them in one place to avoid uncertainties. Moselhy says the guide is compiled by a committee that includes the Agriculture Ministry. Reuters says “wheat shipments to Egypt have been disrupted in recent months after inspectors were stripped of travel benefits related to inspecting cargoes abroad” and Moselhy commented: “we cannot bury our head in the sand. What happened is an abuse of power at an inconvenient time...This led to a misunderstanding between suppliers and the government.”
