Tridge summary

Egypt has reached an impressive milestone of 85% self-sufficiency in fish production, largely thanks to its robust fish farming sector that contributes significantly to the annual total of 2 million tons of fish. The country is actively working on boosting its fish exports and further developing its aquatic wealth by enhancing lakes and expanding aquaculture. Despite this success, fish prices vary widely across different regions and markets, with the Obour market serving as a prime example of the diversity in fish types and their corresponding prices. This variation underscores the complex dynamics of Egypt's fish market, which is supported by government statistics emphasizing the pivotal role of fish farming in achieving national fish production goals.
