Water shortages Limit Egypt's Food Growth
Egypt has imposed restrictions on the expansion of the food industry due to water scarcity. The government announced the formation of a committee comprising the Ministries of Water Resources, Agriculture, Industry, and Supply to assess water consumption in industrial projects and to develop standards for regulating and classifying products based on their water footprint. The committee aims to integrate the concept of water consumption management into national policies, with a focus on enhancing water efficiency and promoting high value-added industries, despite an estimated water surplus of approximately 23.2 billion cubic meters annually. Additionally, the government is implementing strict measures against violating industrial facilities and developing sewage and industrial wastewater treatment plants to promote water recycling and reduce consumption.
