China mulling Egyptian pomegranate imports

A Chinese agricultural quarantine delegation is visiting Cairo next week to scope out Egypt’s supervision procedures when it comes to packaging and exporting pomegranates and visit a number of farms, Agricultural Export Council head Abdel Hamid El Demerdash said. Egypt’s pomegranate season runs through December. Quarantine delegations from Brazil, the Philippines, South Africa, and New Zealand have already made similar visits to Egypt this year, El Demerdash said.
