The improvements aim at developing nutrition in a healthy and safe way, eradicating poverty especially in rural areas, increasing competitiveness of Egyptian exports, creating job opportunities especially for youth and women, adapting to climate changes, improving the income and living standards and promoting sustainable agriculture, he said.
The Egyptian state adopted sustainable developments that targeted all geographical areas and all segments of the society, he added.

He asserted the strategic importance of fertilizers from the perspective of the agriculture sector, adding that fertilizers help in providing the needs of the agricultural sector, boosting clean and organic planting, increasing the use of natural resources, creating job opportunities and increasing the exports shares that lead to increasing the foreign currency.
