The Inauguration of the “Future of Egypt” Project for Sustainable Agriculture

Project’s Location:

-The “Future of Egypt” project is located along the new axis of Rod El Farag - El Dabaa road. The road was established through the National Road Project with a length of 120 km and depth from 60 to 70 km, 30 minutes away from the 6th of October City. It is divided into 60 linear roads, and 35 cross roads divided into equal plots, each 1000 feddans.

-The project’s location is one of the main strategic advantages due to the availability of manpower, in addition to the easy access of production requirements such as fertilizers, pesticides, seeds and equipment, as well as the ease of delivering the final products to the main markets as well as land and air ports for export.

Irrigation methods:

The treated wastewater is transferred through a 170 km long canal through 17 lifting stations to reach the largest treatment plant with a capacity of 7.5 million cubic meters / day and from there to the project land.

The project depends on three groundwater reservoirs, (Eocene - Miocene – Maghra),which are an extension of the Wadi Natroun region, by digging underground wells. This takes into account the distance between the wells so as to preserve the underground reservoirs and not to over-absorb them and achieve sustainable development standards. A water source is being superficially introduced in order to extend the “Future of Egypt” Canal with a length of 41 km to supply the project with a capacity of 10 million m 3 / day in order to cultivate about 700,000 additional feddans. The reclamation and cultivation of an area of 350,000 feddans has also been completed using 2,600 developed pivot irrigation devices, which are planted twice a year, during the summer and winter seasons, which produce the best agricultural crops. The most remarkable is the harvest of the 2021/2020-2022-2021 seasons.

The “Future of Egypt” agricultural project is considered the first project under the New Delta Project to achieve self-sufficiency and export the surplus, as the targeted area for reclamation is 1,050,000 feddans of the total New Delta Project that covers an area of 2.2 million feddans.

Cost:

The total cost of the “Future of Egypt” project is 8 billion EGP. This includes paving internal roads with a total length of 500 km and width of 10 m, digging underground water wells, as well as building two power stations with a capacity of 350 MWh and internal electricity network with a length of 200 km to be linked with New Delta electricity network. This is in addition to stores for production requirements and administrative and residential buildings.

 Job Opportunities:

The project provides about 10,000 direct jobs and more than 360,000 indirect ones. Job opportunities are expected to increase during the coming seasons. It is worth mentioning that the highest standards of occupational safety and health are applied in the work environment to ensure the safety of staff. Moreover, the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation provides full support and brings expertise to the project.

The project entails the implementation of the greenhouse project in Al-Lahoun in Fayoum, covering an area of about 16 thousand feddans with a total of about 1,800 Spanish and Egyptian greenhouses for the cultivation of:

-      vegetable crops such as bell pepper, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, and green beans,

-      medicinal and aromatic plants such as marjoram, anise, thyme, and mint,

-      fruit crops such as grape, mango, pomegranate, banana, and Spanish fig,

-       and cut flowers for export such as American carnation, lily, roses, and gladiolus.

The “ Future of Egypt” project also entails the implementation of Minya and Beni Suef project for the reclamation of an area of about 80,000 feddans where it is planned to plant sugar cane, wheat, corn, fava beans, and alfalfa.

 

According to the development plan of the “Future of Egypt” project and out of keenness on achieving economic growth and sustainable development, work began for the establishment of an industrial zone over three phases in line with the manufacturing priorities as follows:

Phase 1:

It includes: potato refrigerators, sorting and packing stations, grain storage silos, sifting and seed production stations, soil analysis laboratories and plan diseases.

The current ones are: potato refrigerators with a capacity of 80-thousand tons, sorting and packing stations, grain storage silos with a capacity of 20-thousand tons.

Phase 2:

It includes: vegetables and fruit freezing tunnels, snacks factory, dried onion and garlic factory, legumes packing and packaging factory, oil packing and refining factory, livestock feed factory, sheep and cattle farm.

Phase 3:

This phase includes oils production plant and an orange sorting and packing station.

 

Vision of the Future of Egypt project:

- Implementing the instructions and directives issued by the President of the Republic to achieve food security in order to reach self-sufficiency.

- Contributing to the elimination of unemployment and employing civilians in different specializations in order for citizens to see the amount of work done and the President’s plan for economic expansion that shall achieve economic growth and sustainable development.

-Working in partnership with serious agricultural investors within regulations and experiences in dealing with this type of economics of maximizing return.
