Hussein Abu Saddam: No country consumes 20M tons of wheat annually
Hussein Abu Saddam, an agricultural expert, stated that Egypt consumes around 20 million tons of wheat annually, which is a very high rate and difficult for the country to cover domestically, especially given the limited water resources and available agricultural land for winter crops. He emphasized that Egypt has achieved self-sufficiency in most agricultural products and fruits, but still faces a gap in wheat supply. He underscored the importance of reducing bread consumption to lower reliance on imports. He pointed out that the government is working to increase production by utilizing land and resources more efficiently. Agricultural products are available in adequate quantities, though prices vary depending on the product and weather conditions, especially considering the fluctuations in tomato prices. He called for the implementation of cash support for fertilizers to enhance farmers' choices, while warning against certain practices that affect product quality, such as the excessive use of pesticides.
