Egyptian
Rice:
Egyptian rice is the second strategic
agriculture export product. It is also one of the most popular daily Egyptian
meals. Consequently, the Egyptian government uses the latest technology in
improving the types, quality, productivity and yield of rice per Fadden. The
government also exerts a great deal of effort in laying out the rice-marketing
plan in the local and as well as the international markets. It is not then
surprising that Egypt’s exports of rice this year have increased 150% over last
year’s rice exports.
Varieties of Egyptian Paddy Rice:
