Egyptian Rice:
Egyptian rice is the second strategic agriculture export product. It is also one of the most popular daily Egyptian meals. Consequently, the Egyptian government uses the latest technology in improving the types, quality, productivity and yield of rice per Fadden. The government also exerts a great deal of effort in laying out the rice-marketing plan in the local and as well as the international markets. It is not then surprising that Egypt’s exports of rice this year have increased 150% over last year’s rice exports.
