Can you bring fresh fruit or produce to Egypt?

• Plants & seeds

  depends on specifics

  Agricultural seeds and pesticides require prior clearance from the competent control authority (the source names the Ministry of Agriculture, وزارة الزراعة, as an example) before Customs will release them.

  The source used here (Egyptian Customs Authority's restricted-goods examples for passengers) covers seeds and pesticides specifically; it does not address general fresh produce, cut flowers, or other plant material, so no blanket food_plant verdict beyond seeds/pesticides is published — see data/UNVERIFIED/TODO.md.

  Also covers: plants, seeds, agricultural seeds, pesticides, plant material
