FAO: Egypt tops Arab wheat output 2026
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) expects Egypt's wheat production in 2026 to be the highest in the Arab world, reaching 10.2 million tons, with a growth rate of 7% above the average. This is driven by expanded cultivated areas and increased productivity through the development of high-yield and moderately climate-resistant varieties. The wheat cultivation area has also increased to 3.76 million acres, with approximately 5 million tons produced, while wheat imports have decreased to 12.5 million tons. The procurement price per ardeb of wheat has been set at 2,500 pounds to incentivize farmers. This success reflects government efforts and expanded local production aimed at reducing reliance on imports.
