President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi announced Sunday that Egypt is planning to establish a New Delta on the northwestern coast, over an area of one million feddans. These studies confirmed the readiness of these lands for agricultural reclamation as part of the giant New Delta national project which includes within it the “Mostaqbal Misr” (Future of Egypt) project for agricultural production. Sisi ordered the immediate implementation of the New Delta project, merging all production stages together to keep the schedule focused. This will help enhance the government’s strategy to establish new agricultural and urban communities characterized by modern administrative systems, which will encompass industrial complexes based on agricultural production and provide thousands of new jobs. And the Director General of the National Service Projects Organization presented efforts with Agriculture Ministry to support agricultural development plans in all aspects, promote food security and animal production projects.
