Egypt is expecting a decrease in onion prices in mid-December with the harvest of the Nile crop, which is dried for year-round availability with a surplus of 15-20% for export. The country is among the top 10 onion producers and exporters, with a focus on developing new varieties that meet local and industrial needs, and can withstand storage and climate changes. Onion crop exports rank third among agricultural products after citrus fruits and potatoes.
