Egypt’s agriculture minister said the government’s wheat procurement price rose from EGP 420 per ardeb in 2014 to EGP 2,500 in 2026, and will be EGP 2,650 for the next season. He said the higher procurement prices are intended to encourage local production; reported wheat output rose from 8.7 million tonnes in 2014 to 11 million tonnes in 2026.
A higher guaranteed procurement price can support local wheat prices and encourage farmers to plant more, potentially increasing domestic supply in a later season and reducing import needs. The longer-term price effect depends on how much production responds to the incentive.
