Egypt used to produce some 4.3 mn tonnes of rice a year, but the government recently adopted a strategy to save water by limiting water-intensive crop cultivation. However <a href=\"https:\/\/www.masrawy.com\/news\/news_economy\/details\/2019\/3\/13\/1531130\/%D9%85%D8%AA%D8%AD%D8%AF%D8%AB-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B2%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B9%D8%A9-%D8%B2%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%AF%D8%A9-%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%A7%D8%AD%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A3%D8%B1%D8%B2-%D8%A8%D8%A3%D8%B5%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%81-%D8%AA%D8%AA%D8%AD%D9%85%D9%84-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AC%D9%81%D8%A7%D9%81-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%A7%D9%87-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AD%D8%A9\">the minister said<\/a> the use of new, drought-tolerant seeds will mean that the same amount of water will be used despite the increase in cultivation. The minister\u2019s comments came on the same day that the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gasc.gov.eg\/rice_bids_ar.htm\">General Authority for Supply Commodities announced<\/a> a new tender for 20k tonnes of short or medium grain white rice.The deadline for submitting bids is 30 March and the shipments should arrive in June.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/basic-materials-commodities\/\">Basic Materials + Commodities<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/commodities\/\">commodities<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"601971\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"601971\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">8<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Other Business News of Note<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/14\/egypt-receives-offers-to-develop-pyramids-sound-and-light-show-area\/\">\r\n                            Egypt receives offers to develop pyramids sound and light show area                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/14\/egypt-receives-offers-to-develop-pyramids-sound-and-light-show-area\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();
