Egypt also bought 180,000 tons of Russian wheat.
Egypt is among the main clients for Romanian wheat, alongside states in the Middle East and Northern Africa.
In September, Egyptian authorities rejected over 60.000 tons of Romanian wheat due to the ergot fungus infestation. At that time, agriculture minister Achim Irimescu said that the rejection was part of the zero-tolerance ergot policy recently adopted by Egypt, although the level of ergot infestation in the Romanian wheat was 1,000-fold lower than the admitted level.
