Citrus and potatoes top Egypt's H1 agricultural exports of 5.2 million tonnes
Egypt's agricultural exports rose to 5.2 million tonnes during the first half of the year, with citrus fruits and potatoes continuing to lead the list of products, the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation announced. The figures were detailed in a report received by Minister of Agriculture Alaa Farouk from the Central Administration for Agricultural Quarantine, the ministry said in a statement. Citrus fruits led the exports with approximately 1.8 million tonnes, followed by potatoes at 1.2 million tonnes. The ministry said this confirms their growing importance as key export crops due to their recognised quality. Other major exports included 168,000 tonnes of fresh onions, 136,000 tonnes of fresh and dry beans, and 103,000 tonnes of sweet potatoes, which ranked fifth. The list of major exports also included grapes, fresh strawberries, fresh garlic, fresh tomatoes, guavas, and pomegranates. The minister said the state was working to enhance Egypt's position as a leading regional hub for high-quality agricultural exports. He noted Egypt's commitment to applying the highest standards of quality and food safety, which helps open new markets and boosts international confidence in Egyptian products. Farouk added that the ministry continuously provides support to exporters and works to remove obstacles to increase the competitiveness of Egyptian products in global markets, underlining the agricultural sector's pivotal role in the economy and in supporting the state's development plans. The minister attributed the success of the export system to the collaborative efforts of farmers, producers, and exporters who are committed to high-quality output and good agricultural practices. He also praised the continuous monitoring by agricultural engineers and researchers, the efforts of the agriculturalquarantine authorities, the ministry's central reference laboratories, and foreign agricultural relations in opening new markets. He highlighted the constant follow-up on shipments from the farm to the destination market. Farouk called on the relevant ministry departments to continue their development and monitoring efforts and to provide all forms of support to agricultural producers to further grow the export sector and maintain the quality of Egyptian produce.

Egypt expands list of exports requiring advance foreign currency payment
The Ministry of Trade and Industry has issued Ministerial Decree No. 273 of 2025, expanding the list of export goods that require full advance payment in convertible foreign currency. The decree, issued by the Foreign Trade and Agreements Sector and delivered to the Egyptian Customs Authority on January 18, 2025, was published in Issue No. 236 of the Egyptian Gazette. Under the new directive, exporters must ensure that payments are settled in full prior to shipment using approved methods, including documentary credit (covering the full value), pre-shipment bank transfers, or other secure financial instruments. A bank certificate confirming receipt of funds must also be submitted to the customs authority before the goods are cleared for export. The Customs Authority has been instructed to circulate the decree across all customs ports for immediate enforcement. Commenting on the development, Ahmed Zaki, Head of the Exporters Division, affirmed that verifying export payments through Egyptian banks is a long-standing and essential requirement—particularly for companies seeking access to government export subsidies. 'This policy ensures transparency and confirms that the proceeds from exports are properly returned to Egypt's banking system,' Zaki said. He noted that the scope of this regulation has recently been widened to include a broader array of goods, with the aim of curbing financial leakage and ensuring the repatriation of foreign currency generated through exports. 'The goal is simple: to guarantee that export revenues contribute directly to Egypt's economy, rather than being held in offshore accounts. This is vital for maintaining economic stability.' Zaki clarified that the regulation is not intended to restrict trade but rather to reinforce integrity within the export sector and combat fraudulent practices such as phantom exports—where goods are reported as shipped without any actual financial return to the country. 'This is not a trade barrier,' he stated. 'It is a safeguard to ensure that Egypt reaps the full benefits of its export performance. It is both reasonable and necessary for any country to ensure that its export earnings are channeled back into its economy.' The updated measure aligns with global standards in trade finance and is part of a broader strategy to support Egypt's ongoing economic reforms. By enhancing oversight of foreign exchange flows, the regulation aims to promote currency stability, strengthen financial transparency, and ensure that export activities serve the national interest.

Egypt aims to cut external debt by $1-2bn annually, presidency says
Egypt is targeting an annual reduction in the external debt of its budget authorities by $1bn to $2bn, the Egyptian Presidency said on Tuesday, as part of a plan to enhance fiscal discipline for the 2024-2025 fiscal year. The target was announced following a meeting between Egypt's President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, and Finance Minister Ahmed Kouchouk. During the meeting, the finance minister also presented results from a tax facilitation initiative, which has yielded EGP 54.76bn in additional declared taxes. The figure came after more than 450,000 new or amended tax returns were submitted. The presidency statement noted that 110,000 requests to voluntarily settle tax disputes had been submitted as of 19 June2025, reflecting what the minister described as taxpayers' confidence and positive engagement with the 52,901 taxpayers have applied for incentives and tax breaks available to projects with an annual turnover not exceeding EGP 20m. A review of the fiscal performance from July 2024 to May 2025 showed a large primary surplus and a reduced overall deficit. Tax revenues grew by 36%, which was attributed to improved economic activity and an expanded tax base without imposing new burdens, alongside continued spending rationalisation. The finance minister also reviewed the progress of reforms under the International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme and the ongoing negotiations to reach an agreement on the fifth review and the disbursement of its related tranche. The discussion addressed global economic volatility and the impact of geopolitical events, particularly the conflict between Iran and Israel, on market uncertainty, shipping costs, and some commodity prices. According to the spokesman, President Al-Sisi directed the government to learn from successful international experiences to stabilise fiscal and tax policies, aiming to improve the business climate, expand the tax base, attract investment, and boost production, exports, and employment. The president also called for continuing efforts to enhance fiscal discipline while supporting allocations for social protection and human development, urging that all necessary financial and commodity precautions be taken in light of regional developments.
