# Egypt's Yellow Corn Imports Fall 41.4% in First Half of October Despite 6.5% Year-to-Date Growth

> Egypt's yellow corn imports reached about 493,900 tonnes in the first half of October 2026, down 41.4% from the same period in 2025. Year-to-date imports through September rose 6.5% to about 8.82 million tonnes, with Brazil supplying most volume.

## Why it matters

A sharp October drop in Egyptian imports reduces near-term demand from a major importer, mainly for Brazilian corn. Rising world prices are also limiting purchases, which is mildly bearish for Brazilian corn export prices.
