Story details

Egypt’s agriculture minister said agricultural exports had reached 6.8 million tonnes from the beginning of 2026 to the date of the announcement. The figure appears in an Egypt State Information Service report dated 28 August and covers only the year to that point.

The 6.8 million tonnes should therefore not be read as a completed 2026 annual total. Export volume is also distinct from the product mix or the value of exports; the ministry’s stated measure is tonnage.
