Agriculture & Agribusiness are a core market sector in the MENA Region. Agriculture remains one of Egypt’s most important sectors and continues to achieve steady growth rates of 3-4% per year. The agriculture sector contributes roughly 16 percent to Egypt’s GDP. The challenge for Egypt is to maintain and expand agricultural production for domestic and export markets while at the same time adding value and employment through the development of more agriculture-based processing activities.
The USDA and FAS are now participating in Made in the USA 2008 with a pavilion of members to highlight the importance of the US exports and investments in Agriculture & Agribusiness in the region.
