Egypt can go from substitute veggie exporter to main seller if logistics can be improved

Egyptian fruit and vegetable exporters can step out of the shadow of being mere substitute sellers to main markets to source agricultural goods if it can improve the logistics of trading with the EU, says our friend Omar Abdin of Leaf Egypt in Fresh Plaza. Most Egyptian exporters have depended on being called to export to the EU when those countries go through bad weather. Ensuring that Egyptian goods are able to reach European ports in quality condition would help Egyptian goods find a more stable market in the EU, he argues.
