Deputy warns of fertilizer halt impacts
A member of the House of Representatives called for the cancellation of the decision to suspend the distribution of subsidized fertilizers for orchard crops, considering that this would lead to a reduction in tree productivity, a decline in crop quality, and a deterioration of agricultural exports. This is especially critical given that a large segment of small and medium farmers rely on this support to cope with rising production costs. He pointed out that the orchard sector is one of Egypt’s most important export and economic sectors, covering more than 2.3 million acres and generating export revenues of billions of dollars annually. He warned that the decision could jeopardize the sustainability of production and urged a re-evaluation of its potential impacts before implementation.
