The association reported that the item that was affected the most was apples. Around 8,000 tons of apples are rotting in Lebanese warehouses as traders can not ship them to Egypt.
In addition to Lebanon, Rizanur Meral, the president of the Turkish Confederation of Businessmen and Industrialists, said that trade was profoundly impacted between the two countries; especially that turkey is the biggest regional exporter to Egypt. He said that Turkish traders are diverting shipments from Egypt to more distant markets such as Dubai and Russia.
