Egypt removes ban on importing Russian wheat.

Egyptian Supreme Administrative Court ruled in favor of an appeal, presented by the State Lawsuits Authority, against the ban over imports of Russian wheat after they were found to contain traces of Ergot fungus. With the attendance of a Russian-Egyptian Business Council representative, the summit discussed technical problems that could present a hurdle in agricultural trade, particularly in wheat and potatoes. Central Administration for Agricultural Extension and the Environment Head Ahmed al-Attar told the press that the meeting included ministers of trade from both countries as well as the Egyptian embassy in Moscow, and concluded with a cooperation agreement in the field of agriculture, including the establishment of agricultural and animal quarantines.
