Agriculture Minister announces reduced wheat harvesting costs

The Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, Alaa Farouk, has mandated a reduction in the cost of wheat harvesting equipment and machinery for farmers. The new rate is set at 1000 Egyptian pounds per feddan, a decrease from the previous year's rate of 1200 Egyptian pounds per feddan.

This directive was issued during Minister Farouk's meeting with farmers in Sharqia Governorate, held in conjunction with the inauguration of the wheat harvest season within the governorate.

Minister Farouk stated that this initiative is part of the government's broader strategy to support wheat producers, acknowledging the strategic importance of the crop, and to alleviate financial pressures on farmers.

He underscored his continuous commitment to maintaining open communication with farmers, addressing their concerns, and implementing prompt solutions.

Furthermore, Minister Farouk emphasized the political leadership's commitment to the empowerment and development of rural women and their projects, noting the provision of necessary financial resources through national banks in the form of accessible loans to support small, medium, and micro-scale enterprises, thereby fostering the growth of Egyptian villages and their communities.
