About this market

Egypt — The World's #1 Wheat Buyer

Egypt imports around 10–12 million tonnes of wheat a year to feed a population of over 110 million and to sustain the baladi bread subsidy programme. Russia supplies the largest share, thanks to competitive Black Sea pricing, short transit times through the Bosphorus and Mediterranean, and the reliable 12.5% protein specification that Egyptian bakers depend on.

Since December 2024, Mostakbal Misr has taken over the strategic commodity import responsibilities previously held by GASC. Private Egyptian flour mills also purchase wheat through commercial contracts. Source: OECD, 2026. Send the buyer's specification, destination port and required shipping window so we can review the supply and documentation requirements.
