The Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture has lifted the previously imposed ban on importing onions from Egypt. The Ministry said that the import ban was imposed on January 1, 2019, after it was proven that Egyptian onions exceeded the global residue limits of pesticides.

The Ministry said in a press statement that the decision to lift the ban was issued following the application of inspection and monitoring procedures and conditions by Egypt to ensure the safety of vegetables and fruits exported to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
