Egypt's winter potato crop — grown in the Delta and reclaimed desert lands — is the country's single largest agricultural export by tonnage. Packed 10 or 25 kg mesh bags, shipped reefer to Russia, the GCC, and West Africa. European buyers book Egypt for Jan–Jun coverage before Dutch and French new-crop come online.
