 The Egyptian trade mission for the food industries sector has officially arrived in Casablanca, Morocco. This initiative is part of broader efforts to enhance commercial and investment cooperation between Egypt and the Kingdom of Morocco, while accelerating the penetration of Egyptian products into African markets.

The mission, taking place from June 8 to 12, 2026, is organized by the Food Export Council in collaboration with the Egyptian Embassy in Morocco, the Egyptian Commercial Service, the National Food Safety Authority (NFSA), and the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Morocco (CFCIM). It also features active participation from the Export Council for Printing, Packaging, and Paper.

Delegation and Agenda The delegation comprises 31 Egyptian companies representing both the food processing and the printing and packaging sectors. Their primary goal is to explore available opportunities within the Moroccan market, strengthen trade relations, and forge new partnerships with local importers, distributors, and key players in the food sector.

The mission's activities officially kick off today, Tuesday, June 9, with a comprehensive program. This includes high-level meetings with Moroccan governmental and regulatory bodies, specialized presentations on market dynamics and access requirements, and organized field visits to prominent commercial markets and retail chains in Casablanca. These visits are designed to give Egyptian companies firsthand insights into market trends and Moroccan consumer preferences.

B2B Networking Tomorrow, Wednesday, will be dedicated to a series of intensive bilateral (B2B) meetings between the participating Egyptian companies and their Moroccan counterparts. These matchmaking sessions aim to discuss trade cooperation opportunities and seal new partnerships that will increase bilateral trade volumes and elevate Egyptian export rates to Morocco.

This mission aligns perfectly with the Food Export Council's overarching strategy to expand its footprint in African markets, enhance the global competitiveness of Egyptian products, and support the state's macroeconomic targets for export growth and economic development.
