The Export Council for Food Industries of Egypt has dispatched a delegation to Uganda to explore opportunities for enhancing Egyptian food exports to Africa. The council, in collaboration with the Trade Representation Authority, aims to identify obstacles and propose solutions to encourage more Egyptian food exports to non-Arab African countries. In 2020, these exports made up 11% of Egypt's total exports, valued at $386 million. The council has already scouted Sudan and Uganda and plans to assess Tanzania next, alongside other African markets. The delegation's activities in Uganda included exploring investment opportunities, understanding local market dynamics, and discussing financial solutions for export transactions. The council is also working on an initiative to support Ugandan companies to export their products to Egypt.
