Our dietary supplements export push catches the attention of the business press

Egypt’s efforts to ramp up dietary supplements exports are drawing global attention. Overseas shipments of vitamins and mineral-dense and nutritional products have reached USD 350 mn, up 75% from 2022, Bloomberg reports. The industry — which counts 150 companies, 41 operating factories, and another 50 in the works — is aiming to hit USD 1 bn in exports by 2030, Egyptian Association of Supplement Producers and Exporters head Mohamed Anwar told the outlet. Markets including China, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Turkey, Sierra Leone, and Togo are already buying Egyptian-made products. If the target is reached, supplements could rival textiles as one of Egypt’s key export earners.
