The Cairo Chamber of Commerce's Agricultural Crops Division has urged the Minister of Supply, Dr. Ali Al-Muselhi, to reconsider the ban on broad-grain bean and lentil exports, arguing that it has led to significant losses for exporters and farmers. The division's head, Ahmed Al-Basha Idris, pointed out that broad-grain beans are not consumed locally and that Egypt imports most of the lentils it exports. He also highlighted the potential for expanded cultivation of these crops if exports are permitted. The ban is expected to negatively impact exporting companies but may slightly reduce local prices.
