MOHAMED FOAAD CEO at EGYFARM: says, “Egypt is in the top 5 tomato-producing countries in the world, with volumes exceeding 6 million tonnes and over 200 local and international varieties. We enjoy a climate that allows us to produce all year round, in rotation across regions. This year is no exception, with very favorable weather conditions and the absence of phytosanitary or virus problems.”
Egyptian tomatoes are renowned for their rich flavour, juicy texture, and vibrant colours. These plump and delicious fruits are a staple ingredient in Egyptian cuisine, and the country is known for its diverse range of tomato varieties. Tomatoes were first introduced to Egypt in the 18th century, and they quickly became an important crop for EGYFARM and Egyptian farmers. Over time, local farmers developed a wide range of tomato varieties, each with its own unique flavour, texture, and colour. Today, tomatoes are an essential ingredient in Egyptian dishes, and they are also a major export crop.

MR.FOAAD added Tomatoes are one of the most important crops in Egypt’s agricultural industry, and the country is one of the world’s largest producers of tomatoes.
Egyptian farmers cultivate both open-pollinated and hybrid tomato varieties, using a range of farming techniques to ensure high yields and quality produce. Tomatoes are harvested throughout the year, with peak harvest season occurring in the summer months.
In recent years, the Egyptian government has invested heavily in the tomato industry, providing support and funding to farmers and encouraging the use of modern farming techniques.
