(260501) -- BEHEIRA, May 1, 2026 (Xinhua) -- People work in a citrus packing plant of Magrabi Agriculture in Beheira province, Egypt, April 30, 2026. On Friday, China expanded its zero-tariff policy to cover all 53 African nations that maintain diplomatic ties with Beijing, a framework that will run through April 2028. The move brings 20 additional African countries, including Egypt, into a preferential trade arrangement that their competitors elsewhere do not enjoy.
Egypt is the world's largest citrus exporter, with the volume reaching around 2 million tonnes. But access to China, even duty-free, is not simply a matter of supply meeting demand.
