Egypt books 8 wheat cargoes from Russian state-backed trader

Arab Finance: Egypt entered a direct deal with a Russian state-backed merchant for eight wheat cargoes this week, Bloomberg reported on October 10th, citing unnamed traders familiar with the matter.

The deal comprises 480,000 tons of wheat, representing roughly 4% of Egypt's annual imports.

The General Authority for Supply Commodities (GASC), the state-run grain importer, scheduled the shipment of the wheat for November and December.

Egypt’s wheat imports rose 30% year on year (YoY) during the first nine months of 2023.
