Egypt Advances Poultry Development With Focus on Self-Sufficiency and Exports

Egypt is pushing ahead with efforts to develop its livestock and poultry sectors, focusing on more efficient production and better-quality breeds to increase domestic output.

The work forms part of a drive by the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation to strengthen local production. Breed improvement is a central element of that effort, alongside measures to raise productivity.

In the poultry sector, the ministry’s development agenda links improvements in production to the goal of self-sufficiency and opening the door to exports.

The update points to progress across livestock and poultry production, but provides no figures on output or details of export arrangements. Its focus remains on strengthening the sector’s capacity to meet domestic needs and pursue opportunities abroad.
