OF GOOD NEWS- We\u2019ve locked in 500k tons of Indian <\/strong><strong>wheat ahead of New Delhi's <\/strong><strong>export ban:<\/strong> Egypt has agreed to buy 500k tons of wheat from India, Supply Minister Ali El Moselhy told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/egypt-agrees-buy-half-mln-tonnes-indian-wheat-supply-minister-2022-05-15\/\">Reuters<\/a> yesterday, adding that an export ban introduced by New Delhi last week will not impact the shipment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REMINDER- <\/strong>India has introduced a <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/90d1ad70-45bd-4d6a-b57f-c43c3433bf2f\">wheat export ban<\/a> in response to surging local prices and a severe heatwave that is threatening to hit production. The decision was taken to \u201cmanage the overall food security of the country\u201d though the government will still permit shipments under existing letters of credit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But what about future purchases?<\/strong> Egypt is in talks with India about being exempted from the export ban. New Delhi <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2022\/5\/Noti-06-Eng.pdf\">said (pdf)<\/a> last week that it would continue to ship wheat to \u201cvulnerable developing countries \u2026 that are unable to access adequate wheat supplies,\u201d provided they seek permission from the government. Friendly ties between our two countries dating back more than a generation to the Nasser-era Non-Alignment Movement suggest we have a good chance of getting that exemption.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Could this be the beginning of an \u201ceasier\u201d wheat purchasing process?<\/strong> Moselhy said that the government gave state grain buyer GASC approval to sidestep its tender process and purchase wheat directly from countries or private sector traders.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diversification is the name of the game:<\/strong> This comes amid ongoing talks with Kazakhstan, France and Argentina under efforts to diversify wheat imports. Egypt, the world\u2019s largest wheat importer, continues to be hit from a grain shortage triggered by the Russia-Ukraine war. The two countries together supply more than 80% of our imported wheat in peacetime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We\u2019ve already purchased a <\/strong><strong>55k-ton shipment of Indian wheat<\/strong>: The ship is expected to depart from India soon after it passed the inspection of Egyptian officials last week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The latest from the local harvest:<\/strong> The government has bought some 1.75 mn tons of local wheat since the start of the harvest season at the beginning of April, <a href=\"https:\/\/english.alarabiya.net\/business\/economy\/2022\/05\/15\/Egypt-procures-1-75-mln-tons-of-local-wheat-so-far-this-season\">Reuters<\/a> quoted a senior Agriculture Ministry official as saying. That\u2019s just shy of a third of its 6 mn-ton target. The local harvest will run through to the end of August but the bulk of production will take place in April and May, by which time <a href=\"https:\/\/english.ahram.org.eg\/News\/465008.aspx\">75%<\/a> of the country\u2019s wheat will have been harvested.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reserves are looking healthier:<\/strong> The government currently has enough wheat reserves to cover four months, Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly said during yesterday\u2019s bumper press conference (see our full coverage above). We had enough wheat to cover only <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d4959ef4-a9f1-4ae3-8354-83e891ebea97\">2.6 months-worth<\/a>as of early April.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Background: <\/strong>The government has shifted its focus to local harvest to help plug the wheat shortage resulting from the Russia-Ukraine war. The government has said it plans to <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d4959ef4-a9f1-4ae3-8354-83e891ebea97\">spend around EGP 36 bn<\/a> to purchase 6 mn tons of wheat from local farmers \u2014 nearly double the 3.5 mn tons purchased last season \u2014 to replenish strategic reserves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IN OTHER COMMODITIES NEWS-<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Our food exports rose<\/strong><strong> 5.8% y-o-y <\/strong><strong>to USD 1.05 bn in 1Q 2022<\/strong>, up from USD 996 mn in the same period last year, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FoodExportCouncil\/posts\/pfbid0GNs9DxCULXitzDYsCawWFk1y98bizSm5m8ziEo2j66we2U6LH8hixbnZRDJi26eml\">latest figures<\/a> from the Food Export Council.
