How Egypt plans to green its desert in Becoming the World’s largest produce exporter

How Egypt plans to green its desert in Becoming the World’s largest produce exporter
Egypt has big plans for the next decade. As a country, Egypt aspires to become self-sufficient in natural resources and is also aligning up new cities for better management and easier access for its citizens.
In the past, Saudi Arabia has tried to build large circular fields for agriculture, but the plan failed due to a lack of intra-country natural water reservoirs and almost non-existent rainfall. The absence of renewable water sources caused their wheat growth to become net zero in 2008. But how can Egypt execute the same plan differently to become the largest exporter? Well, the key answer to this question is that Egypt boasts the largest river in the world i.e., which is irrigating many fields already. In the past, The Nile Delta used to be the bread producer for almost the whole world, but its production depreciated for reasons both intrinsic and extrinsic.
As of today, Egypt is one of the largest importers of strategic crops. Egyptian bill for import amount to almost $15 billion annually. The problem with Egyptian production is that the population is increasing by 2 million people/year and arable land has depleted immensely. Egypt in the past invested in the Toshka project in which a 250km canal was to be built to create new arable land in the skirts of the country. The plan was a massive political and logistical failure and investors pulled out. However recently, the new President of Egypt has ordered the revival of the project. The major task right now is to restore the water levels before continuing the elongation of the 50km long constructed canal and this task is not easy. However, if the project does see completion, the site will grow cotton, dates, wheat, and maize. The total size of this site would be around 6000sqkm. The Toshka project is only a part of Egypt's long-term plans. These plans focus on achieving, Food Security and Habitat provision.
These plans are currently under execution nationwide. The Sinai Peninsula is undertaking more than 400 developing projects for $31 billion.
Egypt is also involved in creating an inhabitable city for its masses as the population has seen overwhelming growth. New cities mean a lot of new jobs, trade opportunities, industrialization, and commercialization. The country is also building around 100000 new greenhouses for strengthening food security and meeting the food needs of roughly 20 million citizens. This is perhaps the most significant greenhouse project in the middle east.
The Crown Jewel of all these projects is the new delta which is situated in the northwest near the Nile delta. The plan is to create a new delta and it would cost around $19 billion which is roughly around 4100sqkm which is about half the size of Cyprus. The project will form new Urban communities and agricultural sites. The location of this project was chosen by keeping in mind its vicinity to seaports, road networks, and industrial areas allowing for swift exports. The Egyptian leader also claimed that treated agricultural wastewater will be used in cultivating the new lands of the project as the government is building two wastewater treatment plants, each with a capacity of 6 million cubic meters/day to secure enough water for the cultivation of the new lands on the northwest coast.
Egypt’s agricultural sector contributes to the country’s gross domestic product by 14%, representing 28% of job opportunities and 55% of employment in the countryside.
In 2020, Egypt exported 5 million tons of agricultural products, according to the Central Administration for Agricultural Quarantine of the Agriculture Ministry.
Egypt is currently gathering massive loans to fund all these projects and all the money that once goes into the army's possession never comes back to the civilians. The army is involved in around 60 percent of all Egyptian economic activities and there are no proper channels for accountability.
The number of projects currently in the pipeline should sustainably spur Egyptian economic growth and put the government's resources to efficient use. These projects are accompanied by a set of laws that make it significantly easier for investors to do business and participate in national projects. One of the more important reasons the government has established these megaprojects is not simply to expand foreign investment but also to allow for the creation of living space outside the confines of Greater Cairo, which is becoming increasingly dense.
So, guys that is it from our side.
Do let us know what you think about Egypt's ultra-ambitious plans.

The big flashy projects are still set up to disappoint. Irrigation for cotton is such a losing proposition. If the Netherlands can use greenhouses to be the biggest market garden in Europe than there is no reason that Egypt can't make one for Cairo. Egypt can import cotton, it is really unwise to import food that can be grown at the edge of town. Food security and price stability is a huge concern right now and always will be. The price of cotton isn't. Doing so and pairing it with the solar arrays in the Sinai to allow Egypt to export energy not used in the domestic market doesn't need to be huge. It just has to be profitable. However the Egyptian military will make short work of any president that thinks small.

they are trying to evolve this tech because they need it. to irrigate a whole desert by a small river. the problem is that this river is going to be completely blocked by ethiopian dams and israeli/emirati projects in the future with the acceptance of the egyptian gov. also the country is under a dictatorship and resource distribution and project management is solely controlled by a dictator. this means people wont benefit much economically even if the advancement is made because much of the production will be exported outside and the profits go to the dictator to fund additional projects. also most of these projects are done with Loans. and most of these projects are backed up by state media propaganda to only show the upsides. most of these projects are long term and are destined to fail currently due to the poor political management. even though they are presented in a way that makes everything look cool.

دول المنبع لديها العشرات من الانهار الداخلية مثلا اثيوبيا يسقط عليها سنويا ترليون متر مكعب من المياة في حين ان حصة مصر من كل النيل 55.5 مليار قدم مكعب فقط لا غير في حين ان احتياجاتنا تصل ل 100 مليار قدم مكعب ويتم تعويض الفارق عن طريق اعادة استخدام الماء عن طريق حفر الاف الكيلومترات من المصارف واعادة خلط مياة المصارف المالحة مع مياة النيل مرة اخري وبعدها يتم اعادة تنقية المياة وهذة هي اعادة الاستخدام للمرة الثالثة مصر حاليا هي الدولة الاعلي في العالم من حيث اعادة استخدام الماء وهو شي مكلف جدا ويكلفنا عشرات المليارات من الدولارات هذا ليس لة علاقة بتحلية مياة البحر ومع ذلك نضطر ان نعوض الفارق باستيراد المحاصيل الشرهة للماء من الخارج وفي اوقات الجفاف قد تصل حصة مصر من مياة النيل الي 10 مليار فقط لا غير وهي مدد تصل لسبع سنوات في حين ان اثيوبيا مثلا وبحسب تقارير دولية تستهلك مواشيها 100 مليار قدم مكعب من المياة سنوية وهوا يعادل ضعف حصة مصر من الماء ولا تستفيد اثيوبيا منها اصلا والفرع الاخر من النيل يوجد فيها خمس بحيرات عملاقة علي سبيل المثال بحيرة فكتوريا تحتوي علي 3 ترليون قدم مكعب من المياة كاحتياطي و هي بحيرة يتشارك فيها معظم دول منابع النيل و تسقط عليهم مئات المليارات الاقدام المكعبة من الماء و حتي دولة مثل جنوب السودان يسقط عليها كميات مياة سنويا كفيلة بزراعة صحاري مصر والسودان كلها وكل عام يغرق عشرات الجنوب سودانيين بسببها ويوجد مشاريع لتخليص جنوب السودان من هذة الامطار وان تصل لنا في مصر لكن دمرها بعض الثوار الجنوب سودانيين في الماضي عندما كان الجنوب سودانيين يبحثون عن الاستقلال و حاليا هم انفسهم يطلبون منا اعادة حفر هذة المسارات بعد ان وصلو للاستقلال وللسلطة في جنوب السودان لكن اثيوبيا الدولة الخبيثة تحاول عرقلة المشاريع و تقول انها ضارة وهذا غير صحيح بالعكس ستحميهم من الغرق في الفيضانات وسبب هذا ان اثيوبيا لا تريد ان تتمكن مصر من ان تعوض النقص في المياة الناتج عن اقامة سد النهضة الاثيوبي بمياة جنوب السودان بالرغم من عدم وجود اي صلة بين فرع اثيوبيا من نهر النيل وفرع جنوب السودان لهذا يتضح لك ان السد سد اثيوبيا هدفة سياسي وهوا محاولة تركيع مصر ليس اكثر والسد في كل الدراسات المتعمقة فاشل من الناحية الاقتصادية لكن اثيوبيا تكرة مصر ليس اكثر

اما عندما ترغب دولة في الاستفادة من مسار نهر النيل تقوم بالتشاور مع مصر اولا هذا معروف بالقوانيين الدولية للانهار عابرة الدول و من ثم توافق مصر علية بشرط ان تحصل مصر علي دراسات جيولوجية و هندسية وغيرها لضمان عدم انهيار السد وبالتالي تحولو الي موجات توسونامي بفعل انهيار باقي السدود علي مجري النهر مثل الدومينو وقد حدث هذا اكثر من مرة مع دول من المنبع بالعكس نحن قمنا ببناء سدود علي نفقتنا الخاصة لصالحهم و نبني حاليا سد كبير في تنزانيا اسمو جوليوس نيريري لكن سد النهضة الاثيوبي لا يوجد لة دراسات امان يعني من الممكن ان ينهار في اي وقت و ال70 مليار المزمع تخزينها في بحيرة السد ستتحول الي توسونامي وستقتل 20 مليون سوداني انظر للسودانيين الان مات منهم 100 شخص بسبب امطار ضعيفة سقطت علي قراهم فما بالك ب 70 مليار قدم مكعب لكن مصر لن تتاثر بانهيار السد لاننا لدينا منخفضات كثيرة نستطيع تصريف المياة فيها وقد قامت مصر بمحاكاة لانهيار السد في كلية الهندسة جامعة القاهرة وكانت هذة هي النتيجة موت 20 مليون سوداني بفعل انهيار السد الاثيوابي وانهيار باقي سدود السودان الكثيرة علي النهر بفعل ضغط المياة المنهمرة من السد الاثيوبي نتيجة انهيارة وايضا السد نفسو فية عيوب هندسية كبيرة وكان من المفترض ان يتم الانتهاء منة في عام 2018 حسب مخطط دولة اثيوبيا لكن بسبب الفشل الهندسي والتخطيطي سينتهي في 2025 علي الاقل و حتي الشركة الايطالية المنفزة للمشروع اقامت سد في اثيوبيا نفسها وانهار في نفس يوم التشغيل و حتي السد المساعد للسد الاثيوبي الذي يتحمل اغلب سعة بحيرة سد النهضة تشقق و ظهرت الشقوق قبل حتي ان تصل الماء الية الشقوق عملاقة لاننا تمكنا من مشاهدتها من الاقمار الصناعية يعني سينهار لا محالة خلاصة الكلام دول منابع النيل يسقط عليها كميات مياة ترليونية تستطيع ان تطعم كل شعوب العالم فهي ليست في حاجة لحصة مصر من مياة النيل وايضا لحسن حظنا ان طبيعة الارض والجيولوجيا تقف معنا حيث يستحيل اقامة سدود عملاقة تمنع الماء عن مصر ستنهار اثيوبيا علي سبيل المثال تقيم سدها علي اكبر فالق ارضي علي الكوكب وهذا الفالق موجود في كل دولة اثيوبيا واي ضغط علي هذا الفالق الناتج عن تخزين كميات كبيرة من الماء تعني انهيار اي سد وحتي باقي الدول المحيطة بها تقع علي نفس الفالق العملاق والتي ليست من دول النيل اساسا اما الفرع الاخر من النيل فيستحيل اقامة سدود عملاقة بسبب طبيعة التربة الطينية لان السدود تحتاج لطبقة صخرية من الاساسات و جبال علي الاجناب ليتمكنو من اقامة سد بينهم ليتمكنو من صد الماء

How Egypt plans to green its desert in Becoming the World’s largest produce exporter Egypt has big plans for the next decade. As a country, Egypt aspires to become self-sufficient in natural resources and is also aligning up new cities for better management and easier access for its citizens. In the past, Saudi Arabia has tried to build large circular fields for agriculture, but the plan failed due to a lack of intra-country natural water reservoirs and almost non-existent rainfall. The absence of renewable water sources caused their wheat growth to become net zero in 2008. But how can Egypt execute the same plan differently to become the largest exporter? Well, the key answer to this question is that Egypt boasts the largest river in the world i.e., which is irrigating many fields already. In the past, The Nile Delta used to be the bread producer for almost the whole world, but its production depreciated for reasons both intrinsic and extrinsic. As of today, Egypt is one of the largest importers of strategic crops. Egyptian bill for import amount to almost $15 billion annually. The problem with Egyptian production is that the population is increasing by 2 million people/year and arable land has depleted immensely. Egypt in the past invested in the Toshka project in which a 250km canal was to be built to create new arable land in the skirts of the country. The plan was a massive political and logistical failure and investors pulled out. However recently, the new President of Egypt has ordered the revival of the project. The major task right now is to restore the water levels before continuing the elongation of the 50km long constructed canal and this task is not easy. However, if the project does see completion, the site will grow cotton, dates, wheat, and maize. The total size of this site would be around 6000sqkm. The Toshka project is only a part of Egypt's long-term plans. These plans focus on achieving, Food Security and Habitat provision. These plans are currently under execution nationwide. The Sinai Peninsula is undertaking more than 400 developing projects for $31 billion. Egypt is also involved in creating an inhabitable city for its masses as the population has seen overwhelming growth. New cities mean a lot of new jobs, trade opportunities, industrialization, and commercialization. The country is also building around 100000 new greenhouses for strengthening food security and meeting the food needs of roughly 20 million citizens. This is perhaps the most significant greenhouse project in the middle east. The Crown Jewel of all these projects is the new delta which is situated in the northwest near the Nile delta. The plan is to create a new delta and it would cost around $19 billion which is roughly around 4100sqkm which is about half the size of Cyprus. The project will form new Urban communities and agricultural sites. The location of this project was chosen by keeping in mind its vicinity to seaports, road networks, and industrial areas allowing for swift exports. The Egyptian leader also claimed that treated agricultural wastewater will be used in cultivating the new lands of the project as the government is building two wastewater treatment plants, each with a capacity of 6 million cubic meters/day to secure enough water for the cultivation of the new lands on the northwest coast. Egypt’s agricultural sector contributes to the country’s gross domestic product by 14%, representing 28% of job opportunities and 55% of employment in the countryside. In 2020, Egypt exported 5 million tons of agricultural products, according to the Central Administration for Agricultural Quarantine of the Agriculture Ministry. Egypt is currently gathering massive loans to fund all these projects and all the money that once goes into the army's possession never comes back to the civilians. The army is involved in around 60 percent of all Egyptian economic activities and there are no proper channels for accountability. The number of projects currently in the pipeline should sustainably spur Egyptian economic growth and put the government's resources to efficient use. These projects are accompanied by a set of laws that make it significantly easier for investors to do business and participate in national projects. One of the more important reasons the government has established these megaprojects is not simply to expand foreign investment but also to allow for the creation of living space outside the confines of Greater Cairo, which is becoming increasingly dense. So, guys that is it from our side. Do let us know what you think about Egypt's ultra-ambitious plans.

Turning Sinai into a huge green area by looking at this map will have a huge ecological impact. The desert is an important habitat to many desert animals and desert plants including medicinal ones etc. it is a huge area and most probably it will need large groundwater abstraction which may also impact acquifers.. Deserts are important habitats too and can be used in eco tourism..

The population increase of 2 million with more than 100 million inhabitants is very large. China had 1.4 billion people last year, fewer than 500,000 newcomers! India with similar population 16 million births. The question is also whether the same amount of water will come with the Nile in the next few years. You can't make objects that big without water. One should first plan for population growth, similar to China. Also works with fewer resources!

[@TH-qk6ez]

If I was you I would try and balance my presentation by at least acknowledging the source of the river Nile with wich Egypt has nothing to do..This dreams you are romanticizing is being dreamt at the expense of upstream sub-Saharan countries whom Egypt has denied their God given right to utilize water under their feet just because it happens to flow towards pro west Egypt...And Egypt seems to have natural support from the racist west for its greedy behavior of distablizing those nations, but like any thing in life, every dog has its days, and that day will come with Ethiopia paving the way, Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (you know it!!)..No monopoly lasted forever!!

[@hakz2740]

I would like to open up a friendly discussion with you, egypt has never denied other countries to prosper, water is indeed a right to everyone, but with an agreement we can all prosper. Egypt has called for diplomatic talks yet ethiopia doesn’t cooperate, Egypt didnt strip you from your rights to water, but that doesnt mean ethiopia builds a gigantic dam at the beginning of the river and claim that its rightful, there are lives on the line here. On both sides. But this is a major threat to egypt and its economy, we have called for talks multiple times, just wish we can all sit at a table and hear eachother, god bless you

[@lula5425]

@@hakz2740 Reasonable person, stopping the flow of water and starving people is not also an evil act but illegal no one will do that, God made it to flow to you. If you read this or any Egyptian reading this will understand things a bit clearer about the negotiation. Ethiopia wants negotiations only about the dam filling schedule but Egypt wants negotiations of the whole Nile (Abay) river percentage thing. You see, Ethiopia is just starting to utilize this river and if we went with negotiations with the whole percentage thing we are limiting the future generations and you get unfairly high percentage because you heavily depend on the river. That's the main reason limiting the negotiation. But this dam will not harm you in any way, we are filling it in rainy seasons only, did you know that? Because we don't want to put restrain on the people downstream that heavily depend on the water. Did you know The dam will help you in getting consistent and uninterrupted flow in every season of the year, isn't that great? It will also eliminate flooding that destroy crops and livelihoods. no one will talk about the good that's the problem. The hate you see here or anywhere else comes from, Egypt government want to control the whole Nile river by tormenting each Ethiopian government that came to power and want to collapse the country. By feeding ethnic clashes with weapons and money. And i want to say to all Egyptian we have to work on greenifying the region to get more rain water, and work on technologies that will save water or desalinate it cheaply. That's where the mind should go but Alsisi is funding wars in Ethiopia literally shipping weapons by cargo airplanes this create too much hate. You have the right to use the water , we are the source of the water, like 85% comes from Ethiopia so we have to work things out instead of demonizing each other on every social media that's out there.

[@hakz2740]

@@lula5425 thanks alot for your explanation, just know that the people are together. Ethiopians and Egyptians. We promote peace and want a prosperous Africa. If we cooperate with eachother more often ofcourse. One thing i don’t understand though and i wish we could discuss, Egypt had requested ethiopia to delay the filling of the dam just so we could have enough time to make a transition, especially of something of this magnitude, my question is, what is your reason for not delaying the filling of the dam?

[@lula5425]

@@hakz2740 guess the year it is delayed 7 years. Isn’t that enough to adjust things if there is anything to adjust? All countries should build more dams, not a single drop of the river should go to Mediterranean Sea. We all countries should utilize it to the fullest. I wish I was the government, I will take Egyptian elites and scholars to the dam, showing how it is constructed, showing them where it starts. Building more friendship. We aren’t lacking water we are lacking love.
