Egypt's Agriculture Ministry said on Sunday that new silos are now receiving 5.6 million tons of wheat in a way compatible with wheat storage standards to achieve self-sufficiency of the grain.
In TV remarks, the spokesman of the ministry Mohamed el Kersh said the Toshka area is one of the emerging farmlands in Egypt after the government managed to provide new investments it needs especially in the fields of water and electricity.
El Kersh added that 220,000 feddans were cultivated with wheat this year, despite some challenges topped by water scarcity.
