Dr. Mohamed El-Mansy, Head of the Egyptian Agricultural Quarantine, announced the opening of the Brazilian market to Egypt's strawberry seedling exports after the Brazilian side completed its pest risk analysis study.
El-Mansy clarified
that the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture (MAPA) had provided the agricultural
quarantine with the import requirements, which were studied and approved by the
quarantine. The Brazilian side then immediately published the decision in the
Brazilian Official Gazette on March 13, 2025.
It is worth noting that the Minister of Agriculture has directed that Egypt become a center for the production and export of seedlings for various crops, with strawberries being a priority, due to Egypt's competitive advantages, such as free trade agreements with many global blocs.
