Egypt’s food exports from registered USD 2.8 bn in 2017, Trade and Industry Minister Tarek Kabil announced yesterday, according to Al Shorouk. With an eye to growing that the number, Kabil says the government has redoubled its quality control measures, such as establishing the Food Safety Authority. These measures have helped grow investments in the sector to EGP 500 mn in 2017, a figure which Kabil sees as growing 8-10% by the end of 2018.
