As Egypt continues to increase its agricultural and food processing capacity, the demand for high-quality soybeans keeps rising. While traditional suppliers such as the U.S., Brazil, and Argentina dominate the global market, Iranian soybeans have emerged as a competitive and reliable option in the region — offering excellent quality, lower logistics costs, and fast delivery to ports across the Mediterranean.

In this comprehensive guide from Tamila Agrifood, a trusted Iranian agro-export company, we’ll walk you through the wholesale soybean market, import procedures, and key tips for importing soybeans from Iran to Egypt.

Why Iranian Soybeans?

Iran is strategically located and offers agricultural products with a natural advantage:

•    Shorter shipping distance to Egypt

•    Competitive CIF pricing

•    Non-GMO crops (in most regions)

•    High protein content (typically 44–48%)

Tamila Agrifood, based in Iran, works directly with local farmers to offer clean, dry, and high-grade soybeans suitable for feed mills, oil crushers, and food manufacturers in Egypt.

2025 Wholesale Price of Iranian Soybeans (CIF Egypt)

As of mid-2025, Iranian soybeans are priced between:

•    $1,800 – $2,000 per metric ton (CIF Alexandria)

Prices depend on:

•    Harvest season in Iran

•    Port congestion and shipping costs

•    Quantity and packaging type

•    Protein and oil content levels
