Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi announced on Monday that electricity price increase was postponed for three times so far, even though the cost of producing electricity increased. The president made his remarks during the inauguration of the Animal and Dairy Production Complex project in Sadat City, Menoufeya governorate. He added that it is necessary to work to increase the growth of animal production nationwide, noting that the measures taken by the state during the past years contributed to raising the growth rates of animal production. He stressed that partnership with the private sector contributed to the growth of a number of livestock projects. “When we talked about increasing veal, we did not expect what would happen, but we were stressing the need to increase production growth, whether from poultry or meat, to achieve self-sufficiency or for the benefit of exports,” he said.
