The discussions focused on collaboration with leading Polish firms in agricultural mechanization, smart farming, food processing, and sustainable development. Dr. Engineer Venice Fayed, Advisor to the Chairman and Head of Business Development Sector at the Egyptian company, also attended.
The meeting underscores Egypt's push for international
cooperation and foreign investment in one of its largest sustainable
agricultural development initiatives.
Discussions explored the transfer of Poland's advanced
expertise in smart farming technologies and agricultural mechanization,
including the potential for manufacturing advanced agricultural tractors in
Egypt with Polish know-how. The two sides also addressed expanding new and
renewable energy projects within the development areas and bolstering value
chains through agricultural and food processing partnerships.
They also discussed forming partnerships between specialized
Polish institutions and companies and the investors and youth benefiting from
the project lands, with the aim of boosting production efficiency and ensuring
sustainability.
Abdel Wahab emphasized that the national project offers vast
opportunities for serious and fruitful partnerships, describing it as an integrated
model for modern agricultural development based on scientific and economic
principles.
"We look forward to cooperating with the Polish side in
agricultural technology, renewable energy generation, and food
processing," Abdel Wahab said. "We welcome all initiatives that
contribute to driving development and achieving food security for Egypt and the
region."
Ambassador Murkociński lauded the Company's recent
achievements and commended the project's ambitious vision.
"Poland possesses extensive experience in advanced
agriculture and natural resource management, and we see real opportunities for
joint cooperation in the short and medium term, especially given the strong
relations between Cairo and Warsaw," Mr. Ambassador stated.
Both parties acknowledged the importance of exchanging
technical and economic visits to establish concrete frameworks for cooperation.
They also discussed the potential for Polish companies to participate in
agricultural infrastructure development projects within the new Egyptian rural
areas.
The meeting concluded with an agreement to form joint working teams. These teams will study investment opportunities presented by the Egyptian company and develop executive plans for future cooperation across various areas of the 1.5-million-feddan project.
