HACE EGYPT 2008, Cairo

Egypt has a population of nearly 75 million with an annual growth of two percent.  Changing demographics have created a switch in buying patterns in the main cities from small, local markets to supermarkets and hypermarkets, which provides opportunities for imported food products in retail outlets, fast food chains, hotels and restaurants.  In 2005, total U.S. exports of consumer products to Egypt were $85.2 million, a 75 percent increase from the previous year.
