Greek Red Apples Enter Egyptian Market Amid Italian Competition

Greek produce is entering the Egyptian market, where it competes with Italian apples. Amaltheia Yada, a fruit trader, stated that while quantities of Gala apples were sold in large volumes at average prices of €0.70 to €0.80 per kilogram, red apples from Greek growing regions are now being loaded for export. Greece is expected to perform well in red apple exports to Egypt and Jordan.

The market sees a new influx of Greek produce into the Egyptian market, which is already served by Italian apples. This introduces direct competition between the two major agricultural exports in the region. The successful market penetration of Greek red apples is noted as a key factor.
