Nabīq al-Fallāḥīn: Tomato prices stay high until December
The head of farmers' syndicate, Hussein AbouSadam, explained that tomato prices will remain high until next December due to the launch of the new season. He expects the price per kilogram to increase to between 20 and 30 Egyptian pounds to achieve a balance that ensures farmers' profits and encourages them to expand cultivation. He noted that the cost of cultivating an acre ranges from 100,000 to 150,000 pounds, and Egypt ranks fifth globally in tomato production, with an annual total output of around 6.5 million tons and cultivated land covering approximately 500,000 acres. He also confirmed that exports have a limited impact on local prices, with exports amounting to about 150,000 tons amid high domestic consumption.
