Crop production represents 55% of this output, followed by livestock and poultry at 35%, and fisheries at 10%, according to Chairman of the Export Council for Agricultural Crops Abdel Hamid Eldemerdash.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There are a few reasons behind the recent growth in agricultural exports<\/strong>, including the activation of agricultural quarantine systems, farm coding, and strict adherence to global quality and safety standards, Agriculture Minister Alaa Farouk said during the event. Improvements in logistics infrastructure and the launch of new shipping lines, such as the ro-ro line <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/60bf2cb3-b9e6-4f2a-88b3-b8f91aa15983\/italy-bound-shipment-times-cut-by-more-than-half-thanks-to-newly-launched-ro-ro-line\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">between Damietta and Trieste in Europe<\/a>, have also played a role.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>New strains have played a part in increasing productivity<\/strong>, including wheat, which saw productivity rise to 19.5 arbed per feddan due to new strains developed by the Agricultural Research Center, according to Farouk.

There needs to be more investment in organic pesticides and encouragement for biological pest control, he said. The sector also needs increased support and funding for training and awareness programs for small farmers following the halt of external funding from USAID, participants noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Modern technologies and smart solutions also have a role to play. <\/strong>Smart agriculture and advanced irrigation techniques such as drip irrigation are considered a key step toward sustainable agricultural development amid water scarcity and desertification risks, Association for the Development of Horticultural Crops head Mohsen Elbeltagi said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Egypt should also focus on high-value crops<\/strong>, identifying the most attractive crops for local consumption and export over the next 5-15 years. BASF Senior Vice President of Agricultural Solutions for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and CIS countries Gustavo Palerosi said. Egypt should aim to become a global leader in one or two products, like blueberries, Palerosi added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The sector should also look toward <\/strong><strong>the implementation o<\/strong><strong>f AI<\/strong>, according to Palerosi.
