Egypt Pilot To Test Agrivoltaics For Arid Regions

A pilot agrivoltaic project is being developed as a research platform and scalable model for desert regeneration in water-scarce regions.

The financing will support sugar beet cultivation in Upper Egypt as domestic sugar production expands.

Egypt’s agricultural sector faces growing pressure from water scarcity, climate change, population growth and soil degradation.

Subsidized fertilizer and mispriced water are canceling out the gains from Irrigation 2.0.

The mega-project aims to reclaim and cultivate approximately 2.5 million feddans of land within the Western Desert regions.
