Agricultural Leader Calls for Reorganization After Ismailia Kids Incident
The head of the Farmers' Union, Dr. Sayed Khalifa, confirmed that the Ismailia children’s accident serves as a warning to Egypt’s export agricultural sector. He emphasizes the need to strengthen oversight to ensure farms and companies adhere to international standards for workers' safety and product quality. He explained that competition in the European market is not solely based on product quality but also requires proof of the farm’s commitment to health and safety standards, particularly regarding seasonal labor, working conditions, and age requirements. Incidents like the Ismailia accident could harm the reputation of Egyptian products and impact their competitiveness. Khalifa concluded by stating that organizing the labor file, including the creation of a unified social registry, is a crucial step to ensure transparency and compliance with social and health standards. He considers protecting workers not as a cost but as an investment in sustainable production and the reputation of Egyptian exports.
