Egyptian fresh grape exporters have reached a new sales record in EU countries, delivering 70 thousand tons in 2023 and potentially reaching 75 thousand tons in 2024. The Netherlands and Germany have significantly increased their imports of Egyptian grapes, with the Netherlands seeing a 14% increase to 34 thousand tons and Germany seeing a 16% increase to 24 thousand tons. Ireland has also doubled its purchases, placing third in the ranking of Egyptian grape importers. Egypt's growth in the EU market is particularly noteworthy, as it is one of the few countries still exporting fresh grapes to the EU in the summer, when local alternatives are abundant.

This year, Egyptian fresh grape exporters not only repeated the success of the previous supply season, but also managed to break the sales record for their products to EU countries, EastFruit reports. Recall that by the end of 2023, a record 70 thousand tons of fresh grapes were delivered from Egypt to the EU, and this year this figure may reach 75 thousand tons, taking into account the yet unpublished trade data for August. It should be noted that Egypt managed to significantly increase its presence in the markets of two key sales markets in the EU - the Netherlands and Germany, which together import from 70% to 75% of all Egyptian exports. In January-July 2024, 34 thousand tons of fresh grapes from Egypt were sold to the Netherlands, which is 14% more than for the whole of 2023. Exports to Germany, meanwhile, increased by 16% to 24 thousand tons.
