The article discussed the tomato pest crisis facing farmers in Egypt. According to Hussein Abu Sidam, President of the Farmers' Union, current tomato prices are stable, ranging between 20 and 25 pounds per kilogram for consumers, and reaching up to 30 pounds in some markets due to quality differences. However, prices are expected to gradually rise to over 40 pounds in November due to the increasing spread of the pest, which has become resistant to pesticides and is exacerbated by weather changes. Additionally, the supply has declined due to the end of the current agricultural season and the emergence of a new one. Farmers are struggling to combat the pest, which threatens crop productivity due to the reduced effectiveness of pesticides and the rising temperatures that facilitate its spread.
