Packaging accounts for $545.6 million, followed by paper at $295.2 million and printing and books at $26.6 million, according to the council’s figures carried by Egyptian media.

These are export values reported by the sector body. The announced 23% increase therefore does not, on its own, measure changes in physical sales volumes.
