A documentary film titled "Egypt's Future for Sustainable Development... Capacity and Development" was screened.

The film began with previously recorded words from President Abdel Fattah El Sisi about the state's efforts to expand agricultural lands from 3 million feddans to 4 million feddans within two or three years, thus contributing to providing job opportunities for youth and cutting the import bill.

The film highlighted that the Future of Egypt agency developed comprehensive plans in this regard in accordance with the directives of President Sisi.

The film noted that 4.5 million feddans were reclaimed in the Delta, Minya, Beni Suef, Fayoum, Dakhla, el Oweinat, and various parts nationwide.

The agency also started implementing an agricultural industrialization strategy within the framework of Mustaqbal Misr Industrial City (or the Future of Egypt Industrial City) with an aim to enhance the state's ability to export its agricultural products and boost its dollar returns.

The film referred to the establishment of many factories, including frozen vegetable factories with a production capacity of 2 million tons, as well as dairy, pharmaceutical, perfume, and other industries that will reshape Egypt’s food industry map.

The film added that the agency is currently working on establishing the largest logistics market in the New Delta, comprising 792 stores, with the annual trading volume of agricultural products expected to reach 20 million tons.

Moreover, there are about 1,100 food commodities outlets nationwide.

The film also touched on the grain storage logistics system, with a storage capacity of 1.8 million tons of grain. This capacity is expected to significantly increase for Egypt to become a regional hub for grain transport.

It explained that the poultry, livestock, and fishery sectors have also undergone major development.

The film added that more than 759 private companies are cooperating with the Future of Egypt agency in projects in the fields of infrastructure, agriculture, transport, mechanization, industry, and other. (MORE)
