WNAM MONITORING: Kazakhstan has emerged as one of the fastest-growing markets for Egyptian fruit and vegetable products in 2024.
Egypt has taken the lead in the challenging category of fresh strawberry exports to the Kazakhstani market.
“Egypt became the third-largest supplier of fresh strawberries to Kazakhstan in the 2022/23 marketing year (July-June), skyrocketing to the top with a total of 280 tons. For comparison, during the previous four marketing years, Egypt’s annual export of this berry to Kazakhstan ranged from 5 to 23 tons,” explains Yevhen Kuzin, a fruit and vegetable market analyst at EastFruit.
By the end of the recently concluded 2023/24 marketing year, Egypt had become the leading exporter of fresh strawberries to Kazakhstan, with shipments reaching nearly 1.4 thousand tons. Egypt’s share in Kazakhstan’s total imports exceeded 55%, meaning Egypt exported more fresh strawberries to Kazakhstan than all other countries combined.
