This note does not use tonnes: Egypt does not declare the weight of most of its exports and UN Comtrade estimates it from one fixed world price per product, so those figures would not be the country's data.

Raw blocks and worked stone

Stone in the raw (HS 2514–2516: blocks and slabs as quarried) rose 16.0% in value. Worked stone (HS 6801–6803: paving, slabs, tiles, monuments) fell 14.4% in value. Raw stone made up 3% of the half-year's export value.

How Egypt compares

Of the eight countries with first-half 2026 data in the KEYSTONE. monthly bulletins, Egypt ranks eighth on change in value. Türkiye and China have no 2026 data yet, so the comparison leaves out two of the largest exporters. The side-by-side view is in Natural stone exports in the first half of 2026: eight countries.
