Assiut pomegranates boost export market
The article states that the pomegranate crop in the governorates of Assiut (Beddari Center and Sahl Silm) is among the most important agricultural lands suitable for export. The cultivated area exceeds 10,000 feddans, with an expected production approaching 181,000 tons in the 2026 season. It highlights the success of producers in accessing foreign markets such as Iraq, Russia, and Europe, where these markets require specific specifications in terms of fruit size, packaging methods, and quality levels to ensure they can withstand long shipments and storage. The harvest season is a primary source of income for farmers and seasonal laborers, forming interconnected economic links that contribute to enhancing the economic value of pomegranates. This makes it a key pillar for the development and growth of the export system in the region.
