Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation Alaa Farouq on Friday 27/6/2025, stressed the importance of enhancing cooperation between the African Union (AU) and the European Union (EU) in agriculture. This partnership aims to address growing challenges facing agri-food systems across both continents.
The minister made his remarks during his participation in the plenary session of the 6th AU-EU Agriculture Ministerial Conference held in Rome, Italy under the theme of Sustainable Future for Agri-food Systems.
He pointed out the critical timing of the conference amid the successive world crises that led to disruption in supply chains, intensification of climate change, impacts of geopolitical conflicts and economic downturns.
Farouq reviewed the measures taken by Egypt to enhance the agricultural sector’s ability to adapt to climate change.
Regarding market access and trade facilitation, Farouq noted that these are two key pillars for improving livelihoods and achieving food security, highlighting Egypt’s efforts to boost competitiveness of its agricultural products by enhancing production quality, adhering to international standards, supporting value chains, expanding logistics infrastructure, implementing technical support programs and signing free trade agreements.
Meanwhile, he emphasized the importance of deepening Africa–EU collaboration in agricultural trade by supporting market-connecting initiatives, providing flexible and accessible financing mechanisms, accelerating mutual recognition of standards and stimulating investment in cross-border supply chains.
