Saudi Arabia lifts ban on Egyptian strawberries
(MENAFN) The Deputy of Agriculture minister said Thursday that the decision to ban imports of Egyptian strawberries by Saudi Arabia due to pesticide residues will be lifted within day.
Last year, Egypt has faced a series of bans on several agricultural products, such as pepper, lettuce and onion, by Bahrain, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates also on concerns over pesticide residues.
Quoting the Agriculture Deputy as told to "Amwal Al Ghad" that an official delegation visited the kingdom to review the decision.
The kingdom had imposed a similar ban on Egyptian strawberries over pesticide residues in July 2017.
Saudi Arabia is the largest importer of Egyptian pepper, with its imports reaching 15,000 tons out of Egypt's total pepper exports that amounted to 23,000 tons last season.
