The increase comes amid the ministry’s plan to take advantage of Russian restrictions on Turkish imports, Qabil said, adding his ministry eyes an export volume to Russia worth $700 million by 2018.
“We noticed an increase in deliveries of horticultural products to Russia in January,” Kabil said on the sidelines of the Russian-Egyptian business forum that was held in Cairo in Feb.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on economic measures against Ankara in the wake of the downing of a Russian aircraft in November 2015. The decree included a food import ban on certain products.
During a meeting with a delegation of Russian companies in May 2015, former Industry and Foreign Trade Minister Mounir Fakhry Abdel Nour said that the trade balance between Egypt and Russia has boomed from a $3 billion value in 2013 to $5.5 billion in 2014, with Egyptian exports to the Russian market rising by 22.3 percent in 2014.
