Egypt seeks French help with wheat imports

None

France has received a formal request from Egypt for free grain storage and far easier payment terms for imports, official sources said, as the world's largest wheat buyer grapples with a prolonged economic crisis.

 

France, the European Union's top wheat exporter and one of Egypt's leading suppliers, is studying the request and is open to helping Egypt on a vital food security issue, a French diplomatic source said. (Reuters)
