Egypt’s potato exports dip 25% y-o-y

Egypt’s potato exports declined 25% this year, coming up almost 200k tonnes short of our 850k-tonne target for the year as a result of pandemic-induced disruptions in global trade, said Mohamed Heggi, head of the Union for Producers and Exporters of Horticultural Crops, according to Al Masry Al Youm. Egypt remains the world’s second-largest potato exporter despite the slowdown this year, Heggi said.
