Egypt reduced wheat purchases from Ukraine and Russia in January–October 2026, while increasing sourcing from Romania, Bulgaria, Canada, Lithuania and Latvia. Ukraine’s shipments fell nearly one-fifth, and total import volumes were lower as Black Sea disruptions and higher prices affected procurement.
Diversifying purchases shifts demand toward alternative origins and can support their export prices, while fragile Black Sea flows keep wheat supply risk elevated. Higher world prices and a stronger US dollar are also increasing Egypt’s import costs.
