Tridge summary

Egypt is set to resume poultry exports in the fourth quarter of 2020, marking a decade since the avian flu crisis halted such activities. The country will initially export to Saudi Arabia and the UAE, with the latter also permitting imports of table eggs and live birds. Around 14 poultry companies have been approved for exports, including Ismailia Misr Poultry, Alwatania Poultry, and Al-Sabeel Poultry. The resumption of exports is anticipated to leave the domestic market unaffected, as it currently hosts about 55,000 poultry farms, producing 1.4 billion chickens and 13 billion eggs annually.
