The prices of municipal beans in Egypt have increased by about 2500 pounds per ton within 15 days due to a decline in crop and increased demand with the school season and universities. The prices of imported beans are currently stable after a recent 20% increase due to rising freight prices, which have affected the prices of all imported goods, especially low-priced goods like beans. The cost of a ton of imported beans is now between 9000 and 10500 pounds, making the consumer price per kilo between 14 and 18 pounds.
