Agricultural Sector Urges More Support
The President of the Farmers Syndicate, Dr. Sayed Khalifa, stated that the recent global disturbances, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, have led to a worldwide increase in the prices of some food commodities by between 20% and 40%. He clarified that the rising costs of transportation and insurance as a result of these disruptions have contributed to higher prices for the end consumer. The government has been directed to increase the establishment of consumer complexes to sell goods at reduced prices, and it is necessary to expand these outlets to reach villages and meet the needs of the population, all while maintaining food security stability in Egypt. He emphasized that the agricultural sector requires more support for farmers and essential supplies, despite the current agricultural renaissance and national projects that have improved the availability of goods. Additionally, farmers have been exempt from land tax since 2015.
