The head of the Cairo Chamber of Commerce poultry division said feed prices vary widely between companies, from about 26,200 EGP per tonne to 20,000-21,000. He linked higher costs to war-related shipping insurance and a dollar move from 47-48 EGP to about 56 before easing to 53, which he said adds roughly 5,000 EGP per tonne to import costs.
Egypt imports 80-95% of its soymeal, so currency weakness and freight risk raise landed feed costs and squeeze poultry margins, supporting upward pressure on Egyptian feed prices.
