Egypt's New Valley Governorate has taken a significant step towards boosting its agricultural sector. The local agriculture department recently announced its approval of 393 diverse projects across various agricultural, animal and poultry domains. These projects are set to be established on agricultural lands outside urban areas, following the necessary approvals from the Agriculture Minister and endorsement from the Cabinet. This move is in line with the Ministry's efforts to promote sustainable agricultural practices and support local economic growth.
The approvals were granted after the Higher Committees, numbered 90, 92, 93, 94, 95 and 97, completed their assessments. A total of 393 approvals were issued, as confirmed by Dr. Majd Al-Morsi, Deputy Minister of Agriculture for New Valley. He further stated that the approvals have been dispatched to the local units within the governorate's centers for further action. This development is expected to have a positive impact on the region's agricultural landscape.
Beneficiaries of these approvals are required to expedite the completion of licensing procedures. They must first approach the relevant agricultural departments and then proceed to their respective local units to fulfill the necessary requirements and obtain the required licenses to establish their projects. The agriculture department has emphasized the importance of adhering to the specified validity period of the approvals, which stands at one year. Failure to do so will render the approvals null and void.
The approved projects are anticipated to play a vital role in supporting the local agricultural, animal and poultry sectors. They are expected to contribute to the availability of red and white meats, as well as dairy products, while also increasing the income of local farmers. Moreover, these initiatives are likely to generate employment opportunities for young people, thereby supporting economic development within the governorate.
Dr. Majd Al-Morsi highlighted the significance of these projects in promoting agricultural production and providing essential products to the local community. He also acknowledged the efforts of the land protection department and its affiliated sections within various agricultural departments, praising their dedication to completing tasks and monitoring the approval procedures.

By approving these 393 projects, the local agriculture department aims to stimulate economic growth, create jobs and ensure a stable supply of essential products.
