Egypt's Path to Wheat Self-Sufficiency
Egypt has succeeded in strengthening its ability to achieve self-sufficiency in wheat by developing modern farming methods and techniques. Its productivity increased by up to 30% through the use of raised bed cultivation, and researchers have shortened the breeding period for new wheat varieties from 12 years to 6-8 years, focusing on high-yield, disease-resistant strains. However, achieving self-sufficiency also requires rationalizing individual consumption, which exceeds 175 kilograms annually compared to a global average of 80 kilograms. Combining increased production with reduced consumption will lead to complete self-sufficiency. By 2026, Egypt led the Arab world in wheat production, reaching approximately 10.2 million tons, according to FAO estimates.
