Egyptian agricultural development in Beheira

Overview

In September 2026, Egypt’s Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, Alaa Farouk, participated in the 74th Egyptian Farmers Day in Beheira. The event focused on honoring farmers and distributing modern agricultural tools. During the celebrations, Minister Farouk inspected corn harvests using water-saving irrigation systems and visited an agricultural and veterinary service complex established under the ‘Decent Life’ initiative.

By October 2026, the focus shifted toward direct discussions with farmer representatives in Beheira regarding service development and production challenges. Key issues addressed included fertilizer quotas, veterinary care for livestock, and the maintenance of irrigation canals. The Minister advocated for the adoption of solar energy and modern irrigation to reduce costs, while also calling for stricter market oversight of seeds and pesticides to prevent fraud.
