The North African country of Egypt is firmly committed to developing its livestock production. This Saturday, October 25, 2025, the Ministers of Local Development and Agriculture conducted an inspection visit to a major project in this sector, according to an announcement made by the Cabinet of Ministers on its Facebook page.

The objective of this inspection was to closely monitor the progress, operating system, and management of the livestock production project. Officials examined the various components of this initiative, implemented through a cooperation protocol between the governorate, the West Nile Agricultural Investment Company, and the National Bank of Egypt.

This ambitious project currently has 2,140 head of Brazilian cattle under strict veterinary supervision. It aims to achieve fattening cycles of 4 to 6 months. Its goal is twofold: to strengthen the country's food security and to provide red meat at more affordable prices for citizens.

Such collaboration is essential for the development of livestock production, achieving food self-sufficiency, and creating sustainable employment opportunities for the region's youth.
