A delegation led by Amy Laurenson, New Zealand Ambassador to Cairo, and Andrew Bevitt, New Zealand's Agricultural Advisor for the Eastern Mediterranean Region, met with Dr. Mohamed El-Mansi, Head of the Agricultural Quarantine, in Egypt to discuss bilateral cooperation and opening the New Zealand market to Egyptian agricultural exports. The discussion focused on setting a joint priority agenda and building on the success of New Zealand opening its market to Egyptian oranges and citrus fruits. The New Zealand delegation is currently reviewing the technical file for Egyptian grapes to potentially include them in the New Zealand market, along with other Egyptian goods of interest.
