Egyptian Supply and Internal Trade Minister Ali Moselhi said on Tuesday that the country's strategic reserve of wheat is enough to last for 5.3 months, while sugar reserves are sufficient until February 2025.
The minister added that oil reserves are sufficient for 6.2 months, and rice and pasta for two months.
Egypt, the world's largest wheat importer, suffers from global supply chain interruptions and price hikes due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
