Egypt, with its rapidly growing population and food manufacturing industry, is one of the largest importers of edible oils in the Middle East and Africa. Among these, sunflower oil remains a highly demanded product thanks to its neutral flavor, high smoke point, and health benefits.

If you're a distributor, importer, food processing company, or government procurement agent in Egypt, here’s your ultimate 2025 guide to buying sunflower oil in bulk at wholesale prices and importing it seamlessly with the support of Tamila Agrifood — a trusted Iranian supplier.

Why Sunflower Oil Is in High Demand in Egypt

•    The total edible oil import value surpassed $1.5 billion USD.

•    The market is growing with increased demand from bakeries, restaurants, hotels, and home consumers.

•    Egyptian consumers are shifting toward healthier cooking oils, with sunflower oil being a top choice.
