Egypt becoming major grape player

Egypt’s table grape crop is forecast to reach 1.57 million tons in 2023/24 (October-September), while exports are projected to total 170,000 tons. In Egypt, grapes are one of the most widely grown fruit crops, second to citrus. There are many varieties of table grapes produced in the country. Joining the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants in 2019, Egypt was provided better opportunities to access new varieties of grapes and enhance production and exports.
