Jordan praises Egypt’s experience in Agriculture sector

CAIRO – 29 September 2022: “Jordan supports the Egyptian experience, and any new Arab experience in the sector of agriculture, amid repeated crises in the region and in the world, particularly the recent Russian-Ukrainian crisis,” Jordanian Minister of Agriculture Khalid al-Hanifat told Egypt’s state-owned news agency MENA.

The minister praised President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's initiatives of developing the agricultural land reclamation fields.

Hanifat told MENA that Egypt now reaps the benefits of this experiment, stressing that his country is keen to cement cooperation with Cairo in the field of agriculture and other domains.
