Abstract
Egypt produces fruits and vegetables for both local consumption and export.
The total area of vegetables is about double the fruit area.
The total income from both represents about 30 % of total agricultural income.
The total export value for horticultural products is about a third of the total value of agricultural products.
Fruits and vegetables are marketed by the private sector.
There are many marketing problems and constraints.
Co-operatives can play a great role in the area of marketing fruits and vegetables especially in the area of finance.
