Egypt faces higher tomato prices

Tomato prices in Egypt are experiencing a noticeable increase, and it is expected that they will reach 40 Egyptian pounds per kilogram at the beginning of October. This rise is temporary and related to the transitional period between the summer and winter seasons. The increase is attributed to reduced cultivation of tomatoes due to previous losses, as well as the impact of climate changes and pests like the tomato borer on production. While experts believe that this surge is temporary and anticipate prices will decline with the coming of the winter crop, calls are also being made to ration consumption and direct support to farmers to ensure market stability and provide adequate quantities for consumers.
