Tridge summary

Since 2019, Poland has seen a significant increase in its import of fruits and vegetables from Egypt, with the value doubling to $85 million. The first seven months of the current year already account for a majority of this figure, with eggs producing the most significant exports to Poland. These exports are primarily focused on two categories: frozen garden strawberries and oranges, which make up half to two-thirds of the total supply. Other imports include tangerines, potatoes, and a variety of dried and frozen vegetables, fresh grapes, garlic, lemons, and sweet potatoes.
