Egyptian workers pack oranges on conveyors inside a packhouse located in Beheira province, north of Cairo, capital of Egypt, on Jan. 18, 2018. Thanks to the fast-growing demand in China for quality fruits, Egypt has witnessed a rapid increase in its citrus exports to China in the past years, which has led many Egyptian citrus farms to prosper. Now Egypt, famous for producing sweet juicy oranges, has become the third largest exporter of citrus to China after South Africa and the United States. (Xinhua/Zhao Dingzhe)
