Increase in Egyptian consumption of packaged milk during the Ramadan season
The Egyptian market has witnessed a notable increase in the demand for packaged milk over the past period, as recent economic reports revealed that the volume of Egyptian consumption of these products reached 13 billion Egyptian pounds in just six months.
Experts attribute this significant rise in demand to dietary habits associated with the holy month of Ramadan, during which family gatherings and feasts are frequent, relying primarily on dairy for the preparation of oriental sweets and traditional beverages.
Data indicates that dairy manufacturing companies have increased their supply rates to markets and supermarkets to meet the growing needs of consumers, especially with Egyptian families keen on stocking up on additional quantities of milk during this season.
Despite this high consumption, regulatory authorities emphasize the importance of monitoring the quality of packaged products to ensure food safety, while maintaining coordination between factories and distributors to ensure the availability of essential goods at reasonable prices for citizens.
In conclusion, this figure reflects the significant spending of Egyptian households on food products during religious occasions, highlighting the role of the food industry sector as one of the most vital sectors in the national economy.
