Prickly pear boosts Eastern farms
As the prickly pear harvest season begins in Al Sharkia Governorate, farms have seen intensive agricultural activity due to its high economic value. Prickly pear is an export crop that generates good income, with increasing demand both locally and internationally. It is a perennial tree that lasts for more than 30 years, water-efficient, requiring only small amounts of pesticides and fertilizers, making it a profitable economic crop. The skins can be utilized in various industries, and high-value oils are extracted from the seeds, which are used in cosmetic products. Prickly pear production begins after the second year and yields good profits starting from the third year. However, harvesting the fruits requires trained labor due to the thorns.
