Salient Characteristics of the Fish and Seafood Industry of Egypt

The economy of Egypt relied heavily on imports earlier until import substitution policies were put in place and was crumbling under the weight of its burgeoning debt. Later it was freed from these shackles when the International Monetary Fund (IMF) released a series of arrangements, after the country participated in the Gulf War coalition that helped it to improve its macroeconomic indicators.

Undergoing these changes, the Egyptians saw the vegetarian diet to be cheaper than the non-vegetarian one. Even then seafood ingredients continue to be important components of their daily meals. It is bolstered by the fact Egypt produces and imports the maximum seafood items among the Gulf countries and exports almost nothing. These facts corroborate that there is indeed high demand and consumption of seafood in Egypt as the old Say’s law cannot be completely thrown out of the window: ‘Demand creates its own Supply’.
