The pulses market in Egypt includes lentils, chickpeas, and beans, which are staples in Egyptian cuisine. Pulses are valued for their nutritional benefits, affordability, and versatility, making them a key component of diets in Egypts food culture and agriculture sector.
The Egypt Pulses market is growing due to the increasing consumer demand for plant-based proteins and nutrient-rich foods. Pulses, such as lentils, chickpeas, and beans, are gaining popularity as an affordable and sustainable source of protein. The growing trend toward healthier eating habits and the rise in vegetarian and vegan diets are key drivers of the pulses market in Egypt.
The pulses market in Egypt is challenged by fluctuating global prices and limited domestic cultivation. Egypt imports a significant portion of its pulses, making the market vulnerable to international price fluctuations. Additionally, limited local production leads to a reliance on imports, which can disrupt supply chains. Limited consumer awareness of pulses nutritional benefits also restricts demand, as does competition from other staple foods like rice and pasta.
The Egyptian pulses market benefits from policies aimed at improving agricultural productivity and food security. Government support for pulse cultivation, such as subsidies and training for farmers, has led to increased production, which is crucial for providing affordable protein sources to the population and reducing reliance on imports.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
