Egypt’s food industry sector is one of the most important strategic productive sectors in the national economy, as it creates thousands of direct and indirect jobs, meets the local market needs, and exports to regional and global markets.
Minister of Trade and Industry, Ahmed Samir, said that the sector contributes a large share to the volume of Egyptian exports, which reached $2.635bn in the first seven months of this year, compared to $2.384bn in the same period last year, an increase of 10.5%.
