Apparently, most of the coffee in Egypt comes from Indonesia



“This is the reason why I bring a prospective investor from Egypt to Gorontalo, to look for coffee suppliers, especially for Robusta,” said Helmy at the “2016 Indonesia Middle East Update (IMEU)” event, which took place in Gorontalo, 9-11 October 2016.He explained that Indonesia’s relationship with Egypt has always been very tight, especially in the form of socio-cultural interaction, with about 4,500 Indonesian students currently studying in Egypt, so that this interaction can then be approached from another dimension, namely, trade, investment, and tourism.According to him, Indonesian products are currently doing well in the Egyptian market, although their volume is still small, at about 1.42 percent.On the other hand, Egypt’s export to Indonesia is only about 0.09 percent, but its volume keeps rising quite rapidly.“In the first semester alone, the trade volume between these two countries has reached nearly 1 billion US dollars, and is still rising,” he explained.
