# Cooking oil supply prices in Egypt jump 35% as dollar and shipping costs rise

> Prices for several imported crude and refined vegetable oils in Egypt rose sharply between early July and early November, with soybean oil up about 34–35% and refined sunflower oil reaching $1,852 per tonne. Higher foreign-exchange, shipping and insurance costs, along with disruption to Black Sea shipping routes, contributed to the increases; consumer prices for packaged oils and margarine also rose by as much as 18%. Egypt imports 95–98% of its annual vegetable-oil needs.

## Why it matters

Import dependence exposes Egyptian buyers to currency depreciation, freight costs and global oilseed-product prices, raising local feed and food-industry input costs. The report signals upward price pressure for imported soybean, palm and sunflower oils in Egypt.
