Abu Al-Ezz added, in an interview with the site "Sky News Arabia": "New areas are cultivated with important strategic crops without the use of chemicals AgricultureWe do not spray pesticides, fungicides, or others, and with the purity of the air, water and land, this project has become environmentally friendly.".
Director of the South Valley Agricultural Research Station in Toshka, explained that this project expands every year, and large and new areas are added to it, and focuses on cultivation strategic crops On a larger scale, such as, wheat, corn, and dates.
Toshka Project Strategic Objectives
According to Abul-Ezz, the Toshka project has great strategic goals, the most prominent of which is the transfer of a population mass from the old valley to the new valley, to reduce population pressure, which redistributes the geographical distribution of the population in EgyptIt raises the standard of living and provides great job opportunities in all fields and directions, and thus raises the standard of living of the people in general.

He also showed that this project seeks to get out of the old narrow valley, and to establish agro-industrial society Integrated in the new lands, through the cultivation of large areas of important agricultural and strategic crops, including field crops, such as wheat, corn, barley, leguminous crops, and cotton, as well as important horticultural crops, such as palm varieties, which produce the finest types of dates in the world , as well as cultivation oil crops important.
The professor at the Field Crops Research Institute at the Ministry of Agriculture explained that the project’s goal is to increase the domestic product of crops, to reduce or bridge the gap between local production and consumption, and thus reduce import, which saves hard currency, and at the same time increases the domestic product, which covers Egyptian consumption, and contributes to export The surplus of some important crops, which are exported abroad to generate hard currency for Egypt, and increase the volume of trade balance For the benefit of the state and raise the standard of living.
One of the objectives of the project is the development of livestock through Animal Husbandry It is an integrated national project of agricultural and animal production.
In addition to agriculture and animal husbandry, the project circle is completed with the establishment of many Transformative Industries On the resulting crops, such as the production of sugar from sugar cane and beets, factories for packaging and packing dates, factories for wood production from palm products and residues, the establishment of factories for the production of oil from oil crops, and factories for packing and packing meat that are distributed through the Ministry of Supply, and others.
Abul-Ezz explained that the president Abdel Fattah Sisi In 2017, he directed the revival of this project, the exploitation of areas suitable for agriculture, and the transformation of areas that are not suitable for agriculture into service areas, in which housing, roads, factories, and facilities are established, and the state provided the appropriate financial credit for the project to continue strongly on the ground, until The expected benefit is achieved.

Dr. Ashraf Abul-Ezz, a professor at the Field Crops Research Institute at the Agricultural Research Center of the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture, said that this project is being built parallel to the Nile River in the Western Desert from the Toshka region, starting from the Toshka overflow in the tourist city of Abu Simbel and passing parallel to the The Nile Riverbut in new lands.
In his speech to Sky News Arabia, Abul-Ezz added: “New areas are being cultivated with important strategic crops without the use of chemicals in the field.

One of the objectives of the project is the development of livestock through Animal Husbandry Large animals, such as cows, buffaloes, and raising small animals, such as sheep, goats, poultry, etc., which is an integrated national project of agricultural production and animal production.
In addition to agriculture and animal husbandry, the project circle is completed with the establishment of many Transformative Industries On the resulting crops, such as the production of sugar from sugar cane and beets, factories for packaging and packing dates, factories for the production of wood from the products and residues of palm trees, the establishment of factories for the production of oil from oil crops, and factories for packing and packing meat that are distributed through the Ministry of Supply, and others.
