Egyptian Trade With the African Union Reached USD 9.8 Billion in 2024

Petroleum products, fertilisers and chemicals led Egypt's exports to AU members in 2024, while imports focused on machinery, food products and building materials. Jul 15, 2025 In 2024, Egypt's trade volume with African Union member states reached USD 9.8 billion, underscoring Cairo's commitment to increased continental trade under frameworks like the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Key exports included petroleum products, fertilisers and chemicals, complementing imports such as machinery, food items and building materials. Agriculture and construction sectors serve as driving forces, with growing interest in infrastructure and energy projects across African partners. Officials from Egypt's trade and industry ministries have described the figures as part of a broader ambition to diversify export channels and reduce reliance on traditional European and US trade routes. The momentum is supported by improved trade facilitation, reduced tariff barriers, and renewed government attention to export competitiveness. While challenges remain - including logistics, financing and regulatory alignment - current data suggest these ties are strengthening, positioning Egypt as a rising hub for intra-African trade.
