Egypt took many strides to achieve food security over past 8 years

Supply and Internal Trade Minister Ali al-Moslehi said on Sunday the Egyptian State adopted many strides over the past eight years to achieve food security through reclaiming more lands and cultivating strategic crops.

The minister made the remarks during his participation in the international forum for food and agriculture, currently in session in Berlin.

More than 70 agriculture ministers are taking part in the event that kicked off on January 18.

He made clear that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict affected prices of commodities globally in light of the rise of transport and energy prices, calling for rallying all international efforts to reduce the price of food and energy, especially for developing nations.
