Olive cultivation in Egypt traces its roots back to thousands of years, with the ancient Egyptians being among the first to cultivate olive trees and produce oil from them. Egyptian olive oil was considered a strategic and vital commodity during that era, used for cooking, lighting, and religious rituals. In later centuries, olive cultivation in Egypt continued to evolve and spread across the Nile Valley and Delta regions, making Egypt one of the most important countries in the world in terms of olive production and exports.

Under the presidency of Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, the Egyptian government has made significant efforts to develop the olive cultivation sector. This includes providing guidance programs, financial support, and expanding cultivated areas. Egyptian olive oil has become known for its high quality and competitive price, earning it a prestigious position in both domestic and international markets. 

Estimates indicate that the area of olive trees in Egypt currently exceeds 255,000 acres, and Egypt's production of table olives is the largest in the world. There is a trend to double these figures in the coming years.
