The growth of the organized retail sector is a primary factor driving the fruits and vegetables market during the forecast period. To generate more sales volumes and revenue, companies continuously focus on strengthening their distribution networks through organized retailing. Organized retailing in Egypt has grown with the establishment of several supermarkets, hypermarkets, and specialty stores.
Moreover, hypermarkets and supermarkets are the two major offline distribution channels for fruits and vegetables in Egypt. Organized retailing is an integral part of the offline distribution channel, which facilitates the purchasing process for consumers and enables them to choose from a diverse range of fruits and vegetables. A rise in the number of organized retailers that offer more shelf space for organic and non-organic fruits and vegetables is expected to drive Egypt fruits and vegetables market growth during the forecast period.
Increasing demand for organic fruits and vegetable products is a major trend in the market. The global food and beverage industry has seen an upsurge in demand for organic fruits and vegetables. Owing to this, the fruits and vegetables market in Egypt is predicted to witness growth during the forecast period. Organic food is gaining popularity across the world because it is produced without fertilizers, chemical pesticides, artificial substances, or genetic engineering. During the forecast period, the organic food export of Egypt, which includes organically farmed fruits and vegetables, is expected to expand. Organic agriculture is also preferable to chemical-based agriculture since it preserves soil health and protects the environment. Organic farming improves soil nutrients, resulting in high-quality agricultural products grown in such soils.
Organic fruits and vegetables offer an ideal solution for consumers who are seeking healthy food products made from flavorful and organic ingredients. Organic fruits and vegetables contain various minerals, vitamins, and omega 3 and some antioxidant properties. Therefore, the rise in demand for organic fruits and vegetables in the global food and beverage industry is, in turn, anticipated to drive Egypt fruits and vegetables market growth during the forecast period.
Food poisoning or food-borne illnesses can affect a person who eats food that is contaminated by bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxins, or other substances. Every year, around three million people (1 in 8) in Egypt suffer a food-borne illness. Salmonella enterica is a major food-borne illness in Egypt. When people consume contaminated food, they are more likely to become sicker or develop a serious illness. These contaminants can infiltrate the supply chain in a variety of ways, rendering food products unsafe for consumption.
Moreover, marine biotoxins, cyanogenic glycosides, mycotoxins, and toxins found in mushrooms are examples of naturally occurring poisons. Long-term exposure to oxalates, which are found in staple fruits such as peach palms, can affect the immune system, disturb normal development, and even cause cancer in consumers. Such factors are expected to hamper Egypt fruits and vegetables market growth during the forecast period.
