Egypt Ranks Second Globally in Exports of Temporarily Preserved Vegetables
Taarek Refaat Egypt has solidified its position as a global agricultural powerhouse, securing the second place worldwide in the export of temporarily preserved vegetables (HS Code 071190) for the year 2024, according to a new report from the Food Export Council. The country exported 54,000 metric tons of vegetables preserved temporarily, a category that includes products prepared for further processing, generating $66 million in export revenue. This accounted for a 15.4% share of global exports in the category, a significant milestone that reflects Egypt's fast-growing competitiveness in processed agricultural goods. Egypt's performance in this sector has been consistently improving, with the report noting an annual value growth rate of 15% and a volume growth rate of 12% between 2020 and 2024. On a year-over-year basis, exports increased 10% in value between 2023 and 2024, despite global trade fluctuations, a sign of resilient supply chains, stable production infrastructure, and growing global confidence in Egyptian agricultural products. Top Export Destinations in 2024 The report identified five key markets that accounted for 83% of Egypt's exports in this category: Italy – $33 million (51%) United States – $8 million (12%) Germany – $7 million (10%) Spain – $4 million (5%) Russia – $3 million (5%) These figures underscore Egypt's growing reputation as a reliable supplier of safe, high-quality, and standard-compliant agricultural products, particularly to advanced economies with stringent food safety regulations. Positioning Egypt for Future Expansion The Food Export Council emphasized that the sector's momentum is opening new opportunities for global market expansion, especially in response to rising international demand for sustainable and traceable food sources. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani

Egypt Launches Fourth Special Train to Support Voluntary Return of Sudanese Citizens
Taarek Refaat Egypt's National Railway Authority on Sunday launched the fourth train service dedicated to supporting the voluntary return of Sudanese citizens residing in Egypt to their home country. The initiative, carried out under the directives of Kamel El-Wazir, Deputy Prime Minister for Industrial Development and Minister of Industry and Transport, reflects Egypt's commitment to its historic and fraternal ties with Sudan. According to an official statement from the Railway Authority, Train No. 1940 — a third-class air-conditioned service, departed from Ramses Station in Cairo at 11:00 a.m., heading south to Al-Sadd Al-Aali River Port in Aswan, where passengers are set to continue their journey into Sudan via river transport. The train is scheduled to arrive at 11:10 p.m. the same day. The authority emphasized that comprehensive logistical arrangements were made to ensure comfort and dignity for the Sudanese passengers, including the addition of an extra luggage carriage to accommodate personal belongings. The initiative is overseen by a special coordinating committee, tasked with maintaining safety and ensuring that travelers are treated with dignity throughout the process. 'This operation reflects the depth of the people-to-people bond between Egypt and Sudan, built on shared history, geography, and mutual respect,' the statement read. In a symbolic gesture that underscored the spirit of unity, passengers at Platform 8 of Cairo's Ramses Station were greeted with flowers and warm farewells from Egyptian officials and citizens alike. Photos and eyewitness accounts from the platform depicted heartfelt scenes of genuine solidarity as travelers boarded the train, many expressing gratitude for the support they've received during their time in Egypt. The return service, Train No. 1945, is set to depart Monday from Aswan back to Cairo, continuing to serve both Egyptian passengers and Sudanese nationals still residing in the country. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani

Trump Calls for Immediate Removal of Homeless from Washington Streets
Taarek Refaat President Donald Trump on Sunday called for the immediate removal of homeless individuals from the streets of Washington D.C., signaling a dramatic escalation in his administration's crackdown on urban crime and public disorder, even as official crime data suggests a downward trend in the capital. In a post on his platform Truth Social, Trump issued a blunt warning: 'The homeless must leave immediately. We will provide you with accommodations, but far from the capital.' The president's comments follow an alleged attempted carjacking involving a former government official, an incident that has reignited public debate over safety in the nation's capital. Trump linked the episode to broader crime concerns and promised swift federal action. 'Everything will happen very fast, just like we did at the border,' he wrote. 'No more Mr. Nice Guy. We want our capital back.' Last month, President Trump signed an executive order making it easier for cities to clear homeless encampments, a move that critics say undermines civil rights and risks further marginalizing vulnerable populations. Under the order, local jurisdictions can request federal assistance for the relocation of unsheltered individuals, including the use of federally managed facilities away from city centers. The White House argues the measure is necessary to restore order, cleanliness, and public safety in urban areas. Trump's remarks on Sunday reinforce his administration's intent to remove homeless populations from visibility, particularly in high-profile cities like Washington D.C., which he has repeatedly criticized as a symbol of Democratic dysfunction. Despite Trump's assertions, official statistics show a decline in violent crime across D.C. this year. However, some high-profile incidents, including assaults and carjackings, have sparked heightened public anxiety, which the Trump administration has seized on as justification for its tough-on-crime policies. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser's office has not publicly responded to the president's latest directive, but previous statements suggest deep concern over federal overreach into municipal governance, particularly on issues related to housing and civil liberties. Homeless advocacy groups quickly condemned the president's language, calling it dehumanizing and unconstitutional. 'Forcibly removing people without addressing the root causes of homelessness, like housing, addiction, and mental health, is not a solution,' said one policy director at a national homelessness nonprofit. 'It's a campaign tactic, not a plan.' Legal experts also warned that any attempt to relocate individuals without due process could face constitutional challenges, especially if tied to political optics rather than actionable social services. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
