Egypt’s Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation has launched a convoy of mobile outlets selling table eggs at discounts of up to 25% compared to open market prices, based on directives from Alaa Farouk, Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation. The initiative aims to stabilize food costs and ease financial pressures on consumers across the country.
Mobile Outlets Target Government Workers and High-Density Districts
The newly deployed mobile vehicles focused their initial operations inside the government district of the New Administrative Capital to serve state employees and workers. Alongside these administrative hubs, the units rolled out in high-density public squares and main streets across Cairo and Giza, as well as several other governorates, to ensure accessible shopping for residents in crowded areas.
Alaa Farouk, Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation, stated that the rollout directly implements directives from President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to combat rising prices and reduce the cost of living for citizens. The Ministry of Agriculture is maintaining strict field monitoring of these mobile units while stepping up the general supply of basic commodities in cooperation with the Ministry of Supply and the Future of Egypt Agency for Sustainable Development, as reported in the official statements.
