CAIRO (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 09th January, 2023) Egypt intends to import 4 million tonnes of wheat in 2023 for state-subsidized bread production, Egyptian Supply and Internal Trade Minister Ali Moselhi told Sputnik on Monday.
"The annual consumption of wheat (for state-subsidized bread production) in Egypt is estimated at 9 million tonnes.
