About Egypt Balance Of Trade

Egypt imports mineral and chemical products, agricultural products, livestock and foodstuff, machinery and electrical equipment and base metals. Main trading partners are the European countries (38 percent of total exports and 31 percent of total imports) and the Arab countries (28 percent of exports and 13.5 percent of imports). Others include: United States, China and India.
