Egypt Organic Food Market Drivers

Rising Health Consciousness Driving Demand for Organic Foods

The Egypt Organic food market is experiencing an upsurge in demand during the forecast period. This is attributed to the increasing awareness regarding the side-effects of pesticide, fertilizers, and the prevalence of genetically modified seeds and crops in Egypt. The major reasons for consumer opting for organic food products are health concerns, growing environmental concerns, increasing emphasis on food quality and safety.

Consumers in Egypt are gradually shifting towards balanced life and healthy food products, driving the growth of the market. Urban centres such as Cairo and Alexandria are the major hubs for organic food retail, and many consumers are foreigners or higher income locals.

Government Support Policies for Organic Farming

Agriculture is an important component of the Egyptian economy and is dominated by the small farmers that use the traditional practices which do not meet international standards. The government is pushing the farmers and large-scale producers to adapt organic farming practices in order to cope up with the increasing demand of the market.

Growing number of farms, cooperatives, and organic supply chains, plus some government support for sustainable/organic agriculture. Nearly 60 percent of the Egyptian-grown herbs and organic food products are exported to the European countries.

Moreover, the rising number of organic farms in Egypt as a consequence of high profits earned by organic agriculture, thus encouraging the farmers to opt for organic agriculture methods.

Growth of E-commerce and Organic Delivery Platforms

However, with the rise of e-commerce platforms has improved the accessibility and reach of organic food products and driving the market growth.
