Minister of Public Business Sector, Dr. Mahmoud Essmat emphasized the importance of expanding the cultivation of food and cash crops within the lands belonging to South Valley Development Company in Toshka area in Aswan Governorate.

Dr. Essmat directed to cultivate the sorghum and yellow Corn crops during the current summer season, and to start a trial area for soybean crops, in preparation for expanding the cultivation of the crop in the next season.

Toshka is a promising and fertile region suitable for various types of agricultural and veterinary projects.

The potential of the commercial representation apparatus should be utilized to update the industry and highlight the available investment opportunities, especially with the availability of necessary water resources for various investment activities.

The region includes agricultural and agro-manufacturing investments, as well as investment in animal wealth and meat processing projects.

There are successful models for cooperation with the private sector in farming areas approaching 15,000 feddans. Furthermore, there are about 4,000 feddans ready for cultivation, equipped with the latest sprinkler irrigation systems suitable for growing different types of crops.

There is a possibility to increase the production capacity in the automated slaughterhouse to 100,000 heads per year, and to add new areas to the veterinary quarries. It is important to consider providing the necessary financing for the establishment of the leather factory attached to the slaughterhouse.

The Egyptian government has been actively promoting and investing in the development of the country's agricultural sector, with the aim of achieving food security and promoting sustainable growth.

The government has launched several initiatives, such as the "1.5 Million Feddans" project, which aims to reclaim and cultivate one and a half million feddans of land across the country. Additionally, the government has been working on upgrading the infrastructure and implementing modern technologies to increase efficiency and productivity in the sector.
