Egypt: Strawberry growers complain about unfavorable weather

Egyptian strawberry growers are facing challenges due to cold weather damages to the bushes, with Mohammed Ezzat, CEO of Green Nile, reporting difficulties in the sector due to adverse weather conditions. Despite these challenges, which include disease outbreaks, the sector has expanded by 20% from the previous season, thanks to increased acreage. This expansion is expected to mitigate the impact of the weather-related issues. The demand for Egyptian strawberries remains high, particularly from Europe, China, Russia, and the United States.
