Egypt\u2019s wheat imports for marketing year (MY) 2024\/25 (July \u2013 June) are estimated at 12.5 million metric tons (MMT), up by 11.4 percent from Post\u2019s earlier estimate, due to an increase in the availability of foreign currency to facilitate imports. Wheat production in MY 2024\/25 is up by 200,000 MT from Post\u2019s earlier estimate. Wheat flour exports to other Middle Eastern and African countries continue to increase as a result of the regional crisis. Corn imports are estimated at 8.0 MMT in MY 2024\/25, a slight increase from Post\u2019s earlier estimate, as corn area and production are more than offset by high input costs, lower market prices before planting, and insect pressure. Rice imports are estimated at 225,000 MT in MY 2024\/25, unchanged from Post\u2019s previous estimate.<\/p>\n
