The Ministry of Agriculture in Egypt is planning to expand grape export markets to five new countries - Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Argentina, and Taiwan - in the coming year. This comes as Egyptian grape exports have seen a significant increase this season, with a 30% rise compared to the previous year, reaching 138,000 tons. The surge in exports is attributed to high demand in Europe, product differentiation, and timely delivery to European markets. The Ministry is also working on developing new grape varieties that can improve export quality and sustainability.
