Agriculture plans to expand wheat area to nearly 4 million feddans
Egypt succeeded in achieving record numbers in wheat production and supply during the 2026 season. The cultivated land area increased to approximately 3.7 million feddans, a rise of 600,000 feddans compared to the previous year. The total supply reached 5 million tons for the first time, surpassing the local wheat production barrier of ten million tons, a landmark achievement. Egypt is now the leading wheat producer in the Arab world, with ongoing efforts to develop high-yielding varieties and expand cultivated areas, aiming to reduce reliance on imports and achieve self-sufficiency. The country also looks forward to increasing arable land during the next year, approaching 4 million feddans, through new agricultural projects as part of its strategy to enhance food security.
