Egypt targets 5,000 agricultural machines by end of 2027 to boost productivity

Egypt’s Agriculture and Land Reclamation Minister Alaa Farouk has outlined a target of 5,000 agricultural machines by the end of 2027, aimed at raising productivity by 20% and improving water efficiency.

Farouk said the ministry is working to increase agricultural output through vertical expansion, focusing on producing more from cultivated land.

That effort includes developing new, high-yielding varieties of strategic crops, he said.

The machinery target and crop-development work reflect a focus on boosting farm productivity while making more efficient use of water. The 20% increase remains a stated goal, rather than a reported gain.
