Abstract
Egypt relies on wheat imports for more than half of its consumption. Future imports are likely to rise because of the limited arable land and already very high yields. The three largest suppliers of wheat in the Egypt market are the United States, Australia, and the European Community. The wheat import market in Egypt is highly competitive. The types of export promotion programs, in particular the prices offered, will determine the market shares. Providing cleaner wheat will not change the shares. However, providing consistent quality could expand the U.S. share. U.S. white wheat has the best potential to capture a larger share of the market.
