Agricultural buying and produce wholesale in Egypt
Farm inputs, machinery and produce trading are overseen by the agricultural authorities. These points help with farm-related purchases.
Produce wholesale
- Obour market is the main fruit and vegetable wholesale hub for the Cairo region; its official site publishes daily market data.
- For bulk buying, put variety, grade, packing and delivery point in writing.
Inputs and machinery
- Pesticides, seeds and fertilisers must be products registered in Egypt. Check the registration details and expiry.
- Ask for service records on used farm machinery and test it on site.
Land
- Sale and lease of agricultural land come with use restrictions. Have a lawyer check before signing.
