PIB Horticulture Egypt

Egypt’s ambition is to make the transition to a resilient and future-ready agricultural sector. This entails more cultivation in greenhouses, modernising irrigation methods, and strengthening its workforce through skills development. As a sustainable and future-ready food system is a shared ambition between both countries, the Netherlands aims to partner with Egypt to accelerate this transition.

The Netherlands has a long history in horticulture, particularly in developing practical knowledge and innovative technologies to grow efficiently with limited resources. Egypt, in turn, brings solid local expertise and a thorough understanding of the climate and market. By adapting proven solutions to local conditions together, we can combine our expertise to support Egypt's horticultural development.

The Dutch cluster Climate and Water-Smart Protected Cultivation brings knowledge and expertise in greenhouse systems, precision irrigation, climate-smart cultivation, and workforce development. Together with Egyptian partners from the public and private sectors, and the agricultural team at the Netherlands Embassy in Cairo, we aim to co-create a resilient, modern horticulture sector that can thrive.

Our cluster members are ready to work with Egyptian farmers, companies, and knowledge institutions. Together, we will strengthen Egypt’s horticulture sector, boost productivity, create jobs, and drive economic growth. We look forward to sharing knowledge, technology, and experiences. Let’s farm the future together!
