Egypt agricultural development and expansion

Overview

Egypt is implementing several initiatives to modernize its agricultural sector and expand its land area. The Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation reported that 60% of the rice harvest has been completed across multiple provinces. To mitigate air pollution, the ministry has coordinated the collection and recycling of approximately 610,000 tons of rice straw, converting waste into organic fertilizers and animal feed.

Looking toward 2030, the government aims to increase total agricultural land from 10.5 million feddans to over 12 million feddans through reclamation projects. The ministry also intends to boost agricultural exports beyond 10 million tons. To support these objectives, officials are focusing on water-efficient farming practices and implementing farm coding systems to improve traceability and food safety standards.
