Egypt to begin exporting citrus to Brazil

Egypt will begin exporting citrus fruits to Brazil for the first time after the Agricultural Quarantine Authority (AQA) concluded negotiations with Brazilian authorities, according to a cabinet statement. The AQA has been in talks over opening citrus exports to Brazil since last September. Citrus fruits accounted for the largest share of Egypt’s agricultural exports in the first 11 months of 2019, which registered 5.1 mn tonnes.
