Urgent briefing on sugarcane fertilizer cuts
An urgent parliamentary question was submitted by Deputy Abdel Latif Abu Shaikh addressed to the Minister of Agriculture regarding the ministry's decision to reduce the sugarcane fertilizer allocation from 13 bags to 5. This reduction could negatively impact the productivity of the industrial crop and the livelihood of thousands of farmers in Upper Egypt. It also threatens the sugar industry and increases reliance on imports. The deputy demanded transparency about the scientific basis of the decision and called for exploring compensation for the farmers. Additionally, he emphasized the need to reconsider fertilizer policies to support local food security.
