Nov. 28, 2023Uvas: Egipto tendrá una producción de 1.568.000 toneladas
Table grape production in Egypt is forecast to reach 1.57 MMT in MY 2023/24 (OctoberSeptember), a very slight increase of 8,000 MT over the previous marketing year. This increase in production is primarily due to growing consumer demand, favorable soil and environmental conditions, the introduction of new varieties, the use of modern growing techniques, and opening new markets for exports.
Egypt has increased the production of grapes significantly over the past 10 years, by almost 60 percent due to the introduction of several new varieties, rootstocks, improved cultural practices, post-harvest treatments of storage, as well as opening new markets for exports. Fresh table grapes account for almost 90 percent of total production in Egypt. Grapes are one of the most widely grown fruit crops in the country, second only to citrus.
