ABU DHABI: Egypt has bought 400,000 tonnes of local wheat since the start of the procurement season on April 15, the Agriculture Minister said on Monday.
Egypt, the world's largest wheat importer, is planning to buy 4 million tonnes of Egyptian wheat in the 2016 season.
The Agriculture Minister also said in a statement that all necessary precautions had been taken to avoid the selling of cheaper imported wheat to the government during the procurement season and falsely labelling it as Egyptian wheat.
