Hatching plans on poultry - Economy - Al-Ahram Weekly
Plans are afoot to increase Egypt's poultry production and up the volume of exports. 'The Ministry of Agriculture aims to raise Egypt's poultry production to 1.6 billion birds, up from 1.4 billion last year, and to increase egg production to 16 million eggs a year,' said Tarek Suleiman, head of the Livestock and Poultry Development Sector at the ministry this week. 'The ministry is also adopting measures to ensure the full availability of poultry and eggs in the local market before exporting any surplus,' he noted, adding that a committee will be in charge of determining the sector's exports based on market supply and consumer demand. Egypt resumed its poultry exports in 2020 after a 14-year hiatus following the certification of 14 Egyptian facilities by the World Organisation for Animal Health as free of avian flu. It had stopped exporting poultry following an outbreak of avian flu in 2006. Adel Al-Alfi, managing director of the Cairo Poultry Company, said that exports contribute to the growth of the poultry industry by generating hard currency, vital for importing production inputs, especially feed, which is entirely imported. Egypt's poultry exports include chicks, day-old parent stock, frozen chickens, and poultry products such as nuggets and burgers. Increasing exports hinges upon expanding the poultry industry and is affected by declining domestic purchasing power, which may cause supply to exceed market demand, Al-Alfi said. Presidential decrees 139/2020 and 94/2021 promote the establishment of poultry projects in the desert away from the congested Nile Valley and Delta. Several projects have been implemented as a result, and their production is available locally and for export. The General Federation of Poultry Farmers has signed protocols with national banks to secure financing for these projects, provide logistical and technical support to poultry producers, enhance farm efficiency, and transition from open to closed systems to increase production and revenue and lower production costs. Investment in the poultry sector exceeds LE100 billion, Suleiman said. The commercial and rural sectors produce 1.4 billion and 320 million broiler chickens, respectively. Broiler production covers 97 per cent of national demand, and with annual production of 14 million eggs Egypt is self-sufficient in eggs, he added. The poultry industry employs 3.5 million people. Annual per capita consumption of poultry is estimated at 20 kg and of eggs at about 140. Some 40 companies export poultry products to 20 countries across the Arab World, Asia, and Africa, Suleiman said, stressing that the volume of poultry exports per month is calculated after factoring in local demand. To maintain the reputation of Egyptian poultry exports, companies are approved for exporting based on their certifications and compliance with the requirements of the importing country, he added. The Ministry of Agriculture is implementing plans to increase production in order to reduce final product prices and increase exports. The plans include the ongoing implementation of large-scale poultry projects in the desert, some of which have already begun production. They also involve the conclusion of cooperation protocols between the Ministry of Agriculture and national banks such as the National Bank of Egypt and the Agricultural Bank. Besides offering technical, logistical, and financial support to small-scale farmers to boost production and enhance profitability, the protocols are meant to facilitate the licensing process for poultry farming, ensure safety on poultry farms, improve efficiency through proper veterinary supervision, and secure all production inputs, particularly feed. A report by the Livestock and Poultry Development Sector stated that the recent surge in poultry production had resulted from government policies, such as the simplification of licensing procedures and the facilitation of poultry operations while adhering to safety standards. The government measures also include exempting small-scale farmers from certain legal requirements, easing their access to financing, and tightening oversight over the feed industry and combating commercial fraud. * A version of this article appears in print in the 7 August, 2025 edition of Al-Ahram Weekly Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Gold Continues to Rise Locally and Globally Amid Escalating Trade Tensions and Growing Rate-Cut Bets
Waleed Farouk Gold prices recorded notable gains in both local and international markets on Thursday, driven by escalating trade tensions and renewed fears of a global economic slowdown. The rally is supported by a combination of interlinked factors, most notably a weakening U.S. dollar and mounting expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its upcoming meeting. The price of 21-karat gold rose by EGP 15 to reach EGP 4,600 per gram, up from EGP 4,585 yesterday. Meanwhile, spot gold gained $7 globally, reaching $3,378 per ounce. Other gold karats were priced as follows: 24-karat: EGP 5,257 18-karat: EGP 3,943 14-karat: EGP 3,067 Gold pound: EGP 36,800 Wednesday's trading session was relatively stable, with 21-karat gold opening and closing at EGP 4,585. Globally, gold declined slightly from $3,379 to $3,371 per ounce. U.S. Tariffs Fuel Market Unrest and Boost Gold's Appeal Gold continues to find support globally amid renewed demand for safe-haven assets, particularly after U.S. President Donald Trump's punitive tariffs officially came into effect. These sweeping tariffs target dozens of countries with increases ranging between 10% and 50%, including a 100% tariff on imported semiconductors unless manufactured domestically. This aggressive trade stance sparked global concerns over a new wave of economic protectionism, pressuring the U.S. dollar to its lowest level in a week and a half at 98.00 points, and enhancing gold's attractiveness for non-dollar investors. Rate-Cut Bets Push Gold Higher According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets are now pricing in a 93% probability that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points at its September meeting—up sharply from just 48% a week ago. This shift is backed by remarks from several key Fed officials on Wednesday, including Neel Kashkari (President of the Minneapolis Fed), Mary Daly (San Francisco Fed), and Lisa Cook (Fed Governor), all of whom expressed support for monetary easing in light of weakening labor market data and economic indicators. In an interview with CNBC, Kashkari stated: 'The economy is slowing, and it may be appropriate to begin adjusting interest rates soon… Two rate cuts this year remain a viable option.' China Expands Gold Reserves for Ninth Consecutive Month In related news, the People's Bank of China confirmed it continued building its gold reserves in July, marking the ninth straight month of accumulation. Official data showed holdings rose to 73.96 million ounces, valued at $243.99 billion, up from 73.90 million ounces and $242.93 billion in June. According to Bloomberg, China has maintained a long-term strategy of diversifying away from the U.S. dollar. Since November 2022, the country has added over 180 tonnes of gold to its official reserves—a move seen as a deliberate pivot toward hard assets amid intensifying geopolitical tensions. Outlook: Could Gold Reach a New All-Time High? Analysts at NAB bank expect the bullish momentum to persist through 2026, projecting an average gold price of $3,220 per ounce in 2025 and $3,475 in 2026. These expectations are supported by ongoing economic slowdown concerns and increasing global shifts toward monetary easing. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results
