The Egyptian Ministry of Defense, through its Agency for Sustainable Development of the Future of Egypt, recently concluded a major agreement with Russia for the supply of wheat to the country. An impressive total of 1.267 million tons of wheat was contracted, thus ensuring Egypt’s needs until the end of June 2025.
This news was reported by well-informed sources to Fatshimetrie agency, who emphasize the strategic aspect of this transaction. Indeed, by securing these wheat supplies, especially of Russian origin, Egypt is protecting itself against possible hazards in future supplies, knowing that the local wheat harvest season is scheduled for the second half of the coming year.
The role of the Agency for Sustainable Development of the Future of Egypt, managed by the Egyptian army, is of great importance in this crucial operation of supplying the country with strategic raw materials. By taking charge of these key aspects such as wheat procurement, the agency aims to replace the General Authority for Commodity Procurement, affiliated to the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade, which was previously in charge of international tenders and direct purchases.
This initiative by the agency for the future of Egypt demonstrates a proactive vision and a well-thought-out strategy to guarantee the country’s food security, by ensuring that it has the necessary supplies of essential raw materials such as wheat. Diversifying sources of supply, in this case with Russia, strengthens Egypt’s position in the global market and provides greater stability in its supply chain.
This agreement between Egypt and Russia for wheat is a concrete example of international cooperation to guarantee the stability of food markets and ensure the food security and sovereignty of nations. It also illustrates the importance of strategic planning and proactive supply management, especially for such essential commodities as wheat.
