Machine-translated from Arabicالنسخة العربية
Gamal Abou El-Fotouh emphasized that recent directives issued by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi focus on achieving national self-sufficiency in strategic commodities. The measure is designed to fortify the country's long-term food security framework while minimizing reliance on external supply chains.
According to Abou El-Fotouh, prioritizing domestic production is key to reinforcing national resilience. The directives focus on optimizing agricultural output across the nation to ensure critical food supplies remain steady and accessible.
Efforts to boost local agriculture form part of a broader economic agenda in Egypt. Enhancing domestic yields aims to insulate local markets from global commodity market fluctuations and maintain essential food reserves.
