Egypt imported 985,425 tonnes of wheat in October 2026, nearly three times September’s volume but 47% below October 2025. Russian shipments rose 272% month on month to 403,245 tonnes, while Ukrainian and Romanian arrivals also increased; corn purchases fell 35% month on month.
The month-on-month rebound in wheat arrivals adds near-term supply to Egypt, while the much lower year-on-year total and weaker corn purchases indicate subdued import demand. Increased export flows from the Black Sea can weigh on regional wheat prices, while weaker Egyptian corn buying is bearish for corn demand.
