CAIRO: Egypt's rice production is enough to cover local needs until October of next year, Ragab Shehata, head of the Rice Division at the Federation of Egyptian Industries, told state news agency MENA on Wednesday.

Egypt expects to produce about 4 million tonnes of white rice during its harvest this season, which begins this month, higher than its annual consumption of about 3.3 million tonnes per year.
