The Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture has announced a 20% reduction in intellectual property fees for strawberry exports, dropping the fee by approximately $10 per ton.

Despite this initiative, strawberry exporters continue to face challenges, including the requirement to be included on the Food Safety Authority's white list and fees determined by export and production.
