Egypt Allocates EGP 307.35m for Cattle Fattening

In a significant move to bolster the agricultural sector and improve the livelihoods of small-scale breeders and young graduates, Egypt's national project for fattening cattle, under the leadership of Minister Elsayed Elkosayer, has earmarked EGP 307.35m for 426 beneficiaries. This initiative, part of President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi's "Decent Life" campaign, aims at revitalizing the Egyptian countryside while enhancing the production of meat and dairy products.

Empowering Small Farmers and Breeders

Mostafa El-Sayyad, the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, highlighted the project's substantial impact, with around EGP 8.572bn already allocated to support approximately 43,500 beneficiaries. This large-scale funding effort has facilitated the raising and fattening of over 505,000 heads of cattle, significantly contributing to the country's meat and dairy supply. The comprehensive strategy includes not only financial support but also ongoing veterinary and health services to ensure the well-being and productivity of the livestock.
