Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi followed up on the position of the state’s strategic stocks of basic food commodities on Sunday to plan ahead given the current global food crisis. This came in a meeting with Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, Minister of Supply and Internal Trade Ali Meselhi, and Major-General Walid Abu Al-Majd — Director-General of the National Service Projects Agency of the Armed Forces. Al-Sisi then directed to maintain the continuity of the state’s strategic stock of basic food commodities, as well as to maximise the added value of storing commodities from the series of strategic silos that were established throughout the republic with the aim of maintaining the stability of the state’s food security position by meeting the needs of citizens in convenient quantities. Moreover, Abu Al-Majd presented the executive position of a number of agricultural reclamation projects nationwide, especially the Wadi Al-Sheeh farm in Assiut, which includes wheat cultivation with the best precision digital farming technology, along with a number of other crops, such as citrus and corn. It also includes an animal, poultry, and fish production farm, as well as a number of factories that aim to maximise the value of crops on the farm.
