Egyptian food companies, particularly those in the frozen vegetables and fruits sector, have opportunities to expand in the German market, according to Nisreen Wahish, the Commercial Counselor in Berlin. Despite Germany producing only 20% of its fruit needs, it relies heavily on imports, mainly from EU countries like Belgium, Spain, Italy, and France. In 2019, Egypt's exports to Germany amounted to about 750 million euros, with the food industry accounting for 27% of these exports. There is potential for increasing herb and spice exports, given the growing demand. The German market is competitive and requires quality and price competitiveness. It is also shifting towards healthy, organic products, which make up the fourth largest industrial sector in the country. To enter the German market, products must meet strict food safety and health control regulations, including European Union standards for organic products.
