Egypt Targets More Than 12 Million Feddans of Farmland by 2030

Egypt aims to expand its agricultural area to more than 12 million feddans by 2030, Agriculture and Land Reclamation Minister Alaa Farouk said.

Farouk put the country’s current agricultural area at around 10.5 million feddans, outlining the baseline for the planned expansion.

The minister described the increase as a state target, with Egypt seeking to bring more land into agricultural use over the period to 2030.

The goal is to surpass 12 million feddans, rather than simply reach that level, according to the target Farouk outlined.
