An Uzbek government delegation headed by the Director of the Cabinet Secretariat for Investment, Export, Trade, Agriculture and Water Resources visited several agricultural projects and research centers during a four-day visit to Egypt.
The Uzbek delegation began its field trip with a visit to the Agricultural Research Center, where they were briefed on the center's research activities and its efforts to achieve food security and improve crop productivity. They also visited the Excellence and Innovation Exhibition.
The Uzbek delegation also visited the Desert Research Center, where they learned about the center's efforts to address the challenges of desertification and climate change.
The Uzbek group expressed their great admiration for Egypt's experience in establishing integrated agricultural communities aimed at achieving social stability and sustainable development, commending the role of the Desert Research Center in providing pioneering models and practical solutions to environmental and agricultural challenges in desert regions.
They also inspected the "Future of Egypt" sustainable agriculture project, the first project aimed at achieving self-sufficiency and exporting surpluses. The targeted area for reclamation is 1.5 million feddans, out of the total area of the New Delta project, which amounts to 2.2 million feddans.
They affirmed Uzbekistan's keenness to exchange successful experiences with Egypt in land reclamation, natural resource management, and modern agriculture, especially in light of the environmental and climate challenges facing both countries.
