Egypt Agrochemicals Market

Egypt Agrochemicals Market Overview:  

The Egypt agrochemicals market is projected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% during 2025-2033. The increasing agricultural productivity needs, government initiatives to boost crop yields, rising awareness of modern farming techniques, the growing demand for higher food production among consumers, and expanding export opportunities are some of the major factors propelling the growth of the market.

Egypt Agrochemicals Market Trends:

Increasing Agricultural Productivity Needs

The rising need to enhance agricultural productivity, along with the growing population is acting as a major growth-inducing factor. This drives the widespread adoption of agrochemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides to improve crop yields and protect against pests and diseases. According to the data from Crop Trust, Egypt has a population base of nearly 90 million inhabitants. The per capita food consumption is 3,160 calories a day and ranks within the top quarter in the world. With increasing demands and a population growth rate of 2%, Egypt must work towards a food-secure world. Mostly desert, the Nile Delta hosts most of the agricultural land and only 2.8% of the country’s territory is arable. Egypt’s main agricultural products are wheat, beans, and fruits. The agriculture and food sector in Egypt accounts for 15-20% of the GDP. It employs nearly one-third of the country’s working population. Further, it makes up 15-20% of exports and imports. Notable imports are wheat, maize, and soybeans. Wheat imports amount to up to 9,800,006 tons and nearly USD 3.2 billion in value. While Egypt’s agricultural sector accounts for such a large part of its GDP and workforce, Egypt remains interdependent when it comes to crop diversity. 91-99% of the food energy consumed in Egypt comes from crops that are not native to the region.

Government Initiatives and Support

The Egyptian government is implementing various initiatives and providing subsidies to promote modern farming practices and improve crop yields. These measures encourage farmers to use agrochemicals, boosting market growth. According to the USAID, USAID helps Egypt increase its agricultural productivity and raise farmers’ incomes. Through $1.4 billion in investments in the agriculture sector in Egypt since 1978, USAID provided technical assistance to more than 500,000 smallholder farmers, enabled farmers to purchase land, improved farm management techniques and access to financial services, and liberalized agricultural markets. Through Feed the Future, the U.S. Government’s global hunger and food security initiative, USAID’s approach encourages free-market competition and helps match farmers with local and international buyers to meet market needs and consumer demands. Since the late 1990s, Egypt has increased agricultural export revenue by 1,500 percent with USAID support.
