The Egyptian Countryside Development Company has hosted high-level talks with Poland's Ambassador to Cairo, Michał Murkociński, as part of efforts to boost collaboration between the two countries in agriculture and food industries. The meeting, held at the company’s Cairo headquarters, signals growing momentum behind Egypt’s ambitious 1.5 Million Feddan Project—one of the region’s largest sustainable farming initiatives.
Talks focused on unlocking partnerships with leading Polish companies and institutions in areas such as agricultural mechanisation, smart farming systems, sustainable development, and food processing. The exchange reflects a broader strategy by the Egyptian Countryside Development Company to attract foreign investment and deepen international cooperation in support of national agricultural priorities.
Key discussions included the potential transfer of Polish know-how in precision agriculture, as well as opportunities for joint manufacturing of modern agricultural machinery in Egypt, combining local workforce capacity with Polish engineering expertise. Both sides also explored avenues for integrating renewable energy solutions into project operations and strengthening food value chains through technology-driven cooperation.
The dialogue also highlighted opportunities for Polish companies to work directly with Egyptian investors, especially youth participants and land recipients under the 1.5 Million Feddan Project, in order to promote innovation, productivity, and sustainability.
Amr Abdel Wahab, Chairperson and Managing Director of the Egyptian Countryside Development Company, described the project as a platform for transformative agricultural development rooted in science and economic viability. “We look forward to cooperating with the Polish side in agricultural technology, renewable energy generation, and food processing. We welcome all efforts that drive development and contribute to achieving food security for Egypt and the region,” he said.
Ambassador Murkociński expressed strong interest in expanding Polish engagement with the project, noting, “Poland has deep expertise in advanced agriculture and natural resource management. We see strong opportunities for cooperation in both the short and medium term, particularly given the solid bilateral ties between Cairo and Warsaw.”
Both parties agreed to maintain momentum through technical and economic exchanges, including follow-up visits that will allow Polish firms to explore on-the-ground opportunities in Egypt’s new agricultural zones. The meeting concluded with a decision to establish joint working groups to assess specific investment prospects and design implementation plans for long-term collaboration within the framework of the 1.5 Million Feddan Project.
