Egypt's agriculture, irrigation ministers to start African tour on Sunday

Agriculture Minister Salah Helal and Irrigation Minister Hossam Moghazy will start Sunday a three-day tour of Khartoum and Juba.

The visit is meant to discuss mechanisms to achieve agricultural integration between Egypt and the two African countries.

Helal and Moghazy are expected to meet with top officials in both countries to discuss establishing joint projects, especially in the agriculture and livestock fields.

A well-placed official with the agriculture ministry asserted that procedures to allocate 1,250,000 feddans in Sudan for Egyptian projects will be discussed.
