This brought total funding injected into the project by the end of the year to EGP 10.053bn. He noted that 10,870 operating licences were issued during the year, including new and renewed licences for livestock, feed and poultry activities, as well as milk collection centres. Soliman stressed continued coordination with regulatory authorities and the launch of intensive, unannounced inspection campaigns targeting feed warehouses, raw materials, and feed production and trading activities across all governorates. More than 250 surprise campaigns were carried out in 2025, resulting in the seizure of 187 tonnes of non-compliant feed, including expired products and feed held for hoarding. Poultry production also recorded strong growth, with broiler output rising to around 1.6 billion birds in 2025, compared with 1.4 billion birds a year earlier.
