CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt will finish unloading a 63,000-tonne cargo of Romanian wheat held by the country for containing poppy seeds by Tuesday, an official source close to the matter said on Sunday.
Forty-three thousand tonnes have already been unloaded, said the source, adding none of the cargo had been transferred for sieving yet.
Minister of Supply Ali Moselhy said last week the sieving process had been completed for the entire shipment, which is being watched closely by grain traders who worry there could be another row over import rules if it is rejected.
