First up: <\/strong><strong>Agriculture.<\/strong> The government yesterday began the first of a series of public consultations on its ambitious <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/0894c99e-e18e-473e-a869-64812c50988b\">state ownership policy document<\/a>, according to a cabinet <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/39AMUHt\">statement<\/a>. Cabinet\u2019s Information and Decision Support Center (IDSC) laid out the state\u2019s plans to exit from parts of the agricultural sector in a workshop with officials and businessmen involved in the sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REFRESHER- <\/strong>The government wants to double the private sector\u2019s role in the economy over the next three years in a bid to attract bns of USD of fresh investment into the country. It is aiming to raise USD 40 bn over the next four years by selling stakes in state-owned assets to local and international investors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>IDSC head Osama El Gohary laid out government plans to exit parts of the agriculture sector<\/strong>, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>An exit within three years from most farming activity<\/strong>, including fruit and vegetable farming, all grain farming except for wheat, forestry, fishing and fish farming, and livestock. The state would maintain its presence in the dairy sector, though it could lower its investments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The lease of livestock and fish farms<\/strong> to the private sector, community associations, and foreign investors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Boosting the private sector\u2019s role in national agriculture projects<\/strong>, including the mega 1.5 mn-feddan reclamation project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>USD 10 bn in export potential \u2014 if challenges can be addressed:<\/strong> Obstacles facing growth in the sector include water scarcity, wasted crops, financing hurdles, underemployment, and a lack of modern production technologies and R&D funding, the IDSC said. But if the private sector can step in to help address these challenges, there are gains to be made \u2014 with an estimated USD 10 bn in untapped export potential alone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Participants welcomed the plans \u2014 with some pushback: <\/strong>Some agricultural industries might need continued government support, for example on modern irrigation techniques and exports, said former agriculture minister Adel El Beltagy. The state would need to enforce regulating the use of water by the private sector following exits and to continue to criminalize encroachment on agricultural land, he added. Ayman Farid Abu Hadid, another former agriculture minister, said a three-year timeframe for exits could be hard for some parts of the sector \u2014 particularly land reclamation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REMEMBER- Every Sunday and Tuesday <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/a1579274-9ae3-4b03-888c-f3b646608976\">will see workshops<\/a><\/strong><strong> on how privatization plans will affect specific industries<\/strong>, with a food industries-focused workshop planned for this Tuesday.
