1m feddan project to be completed in 2017 in Egypt

Agriculture Minister Adel El Beltagy on Sunday said the national project to reclaim one million feddans nationwide would be completed in 2017.
He added that a new project to reclaim other three million feddans would be completed in 2030.
The project includes allocating lands for different social groups and young people through establishing joint-stock companies, the minister said.
He added that the project aims to create new industrial-farming communities to eliminate the population density in the valley and the delta.
The project will depend on the groundwater by 80% while the rest will be get through the Nile's water.
