The Egypt Future for Sustainable Development Agency announced the signing of a strategic partnership with Famsun International, a leading company specializing in agricultural manufacturing and animal husbandry. The partnership aims to employ the latest technological solutions in land reclamation projects, enhance the agricultural manufacturing system, and establish advanced storage silos. This will contribute to supporting food security and achieving the sustainable development goals set out in Egypt's Vision 2030.
The signing ceremony was attended by Dr. Bahaa El-Ghannam, Chairman of the Agency, and Major General Khaled Ahmed Salah, Director of the Central Administration for the Office of the Director of the Agency. Famsun included Jack Chen Jingjun, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Qian Wang Gui An, Vice President of International Affairs, Mohamed Mostafa Shantouri, Director of Business Development, and several other senior officials. This cooperation establishes a comprehensive strategic partnership covering various agricultural and industrial sectors, from the establishment and operation of grain storage facilities and feed processing plants, to active projects such as the corn products complex and flour mills, to the development of agricultural infrastructure in the areas of storage, logistics, oils, and animal farms, as well as desert afforestation and land reclamation initiatives using the latest machinery and irrigation systems. The partnership also extends to strengthening African cooperation by transferring successful experiences and replicating sustainable agriculture models in various countries, thus enhancing food security and supporting sustainable development efforts at the regional and international levels. In this context, Dr. Bahaa El-Ghannam, Chairman of the Egypt Future for Sustainable Development Agency, stated that the partnership with the global company Famsun contributes to the agency's strategy to provide high-quality agricultural products at reasonable prices to citizens and achieve self-sufficiency in strategic commodities. This is achieved through the implementation of an integrated agricultural system based on the implementation of major land reclamation projects in Egypt to increase domestic production and export the surplus abroad, along with the establishment of industrial complexes to maximize agricultural production and strategic silos for grain storage. This opens up broader export horizons and enhances our ability to achieve self-sufficiency in strategic commodities, in addition to creating new job opportunities for youth.
The Egypt Future for Sustainable Development Agency is implementing one of the most prominent national projects working to change Egypt's agricultural landscape, targeting the reclamation of 4.5 million acres by 2027. The agency represents a fundamental pillar in implementing the state's plans for agricultural expansion, including agriculture, agricultural processing, renewable energy, and digital transformation, in addition to developing livestock, poultry, and fisheries. Through these integrated efforts, the agency seeks to build a sustainable agricultural economy that contributes to creating new job opportunities, increasing the added value of natural resources, and expanding the agricultural export base. This will enhance Egypt's position regionally and internationally as a pivotal center for food security and sustainable development.
