Agriculture Minister Reports Record Wheat Output

The Egyptian Minister of Agriculture achieved an unprecedented surge in wheat production this year, with local output exceeding 10 million tons, marking a 6.5% increase compared to the previous year. This contributed to reducing the country's wheat imports to approximately 12.5 million tons, down from 13.2 million tons last year. This outcome results from the state's efforts to boost productivity through supporting farmers, implementing a contractual farming system that sets guaranteed prices for crops, and providing high-yield seeds and extension caravans, all aimed at achieving food security.
