Mega-project: Egypt the continent’s largest fish producer – YouTube inside
Despite being predominantly occupied by the African desert, Egypt has successfully developed its fishing industry to provide protein-rich food for its population. However, due to climate change and human activities, the waters of the Nile have become less saturated with fertile silt, necessitating the use of chemical fertilizers and reducing arable land. To address this challenge, Egypt initiated the construction of the Al Fayrooz large-scale fish production complex, which aims to make Egypt the largest fish producer in Africa and boost its export capabilities.
