In December 2022, Egypt experienced a significant increase in broad bean imports, with a value of $39.75 million, up from $27.93 million in the same period of the previous year. Despite this surge, the overall value of Egypt's bean imports in 2021 fell to $222.46 million, a decrease from $255.26 million in 2020, indicating a gap in bean supply. Broad beans are a staple food in Egypt, especially during Ramadan, and play a crucial role in the country's agricultural imports.
