Hatem Al-Najeeb Affirms Stable Tomato Prices
Hatem Al-Najib, Vice Chairman of the Vegetables and Fruits Division at the Chamber of Commerce, confirmed that the tomato market is not experiencing a crisis and that prices are stable. The wholesale price per kilogram ranges between 10 and 15 Egyptian pounds, reaching around 20 pounds in retail. He explained that the current rumors of rising prices are unfounded and that sufficient supplies are available to meet demand. Although there are some agricultural pests, such as tomato borer, they do not significantly impact production. He also noted that the gap between seasons, which lasts about 15 to 20 days, causes a temporary increase in prices but does not result from a market crisis or production shortage.
