Egypt Launches First Phase of 'Productive Village' Initiative in 10 Villages
Three ministers and the head of the Egyptian Federation of Industries met on Wednesday to select 10 villages for the first phase of the 'Productive Village' initiative.
- The meeting, chaired by Agriculture Minister Alaa Farouk, Local Development Minister Manal Awad, and Industry Minister Khaled Hashem, reviewed field surveys and selected 10 villages in the 'Decent Life' program for conversion into integrated production centers.
- Farouk announced that the ministry is coordinating with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) for technical support and capacity building for small farmers.
- Awad said the initiative will transform unused state-owned facilities and land in the selected villages into industrial units, especially for food and textile manufacturing, with private sector management.
- Hashem stated that the land available allows for standalone factories and small industrial complexes under the supervision of the Industrial Development Authority, with streamlined licensing for projects in villages.
