Welcome to The Primest and today’s video is about How Egypt is Sustainably Becoming the World’s largest fish producer.

In today's video, we're going to introduce How Egypt is Sustainably Becoming the World’s largest fish producer. Courtesy of a mega project that Egypt has planned, their fish production will exceed all past bounds. Enhanced food supply is also another aspect of this mega project. The fertile lands on the bank of the Nile only occupy around 5.5% of the total Egyptian territory, the yield is still enough to fulfill the food requirement of the country however, the equation is not so simple. The yield is also a net result of increased fertilizer usage which is a major cause of soil depletion. To cater to this issue, Egyptian authorities decided to diversify their food sources in the last century. The alternative they thought was the most feasible was enhancing their fish industry. Fish four large hatcheries, six fish farms, and five juvenile fish collection points were built.

Thus, in around ten odd years Egypt successfully diversified its food production. When there is a new business, it is natural that more job opportunities will pop up. Private fish farms on land leased from the state. The surplus production resulted in a price drop in domestic markets which made it affordable for even the poorest around. This suggests that the Egyptian nation will not face protein deficiency any time soon. You must have been wondering by now that Egypt has done an amazing job to enhance the production but astonishingly even after such a boost, Egypt was unable to fulfill its domestic fish needs until recently. The Egyptian government has decided to build the Al Fayrouz large-scale fish production complex which will be located 10 kilometers east of Port Saeed and 17.5 kilometers from the Mediterranean coast.

Technically, Al-Fayrouz is not within the confines of the African continent itself but outside of it since it plotted on the Mediterranean. President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi inaugurated himself inaugurated the Fayrouz Fish Farm. This farm will be the largest project of its kind in the Middle east. Not only will this enhance fish production but also it will add huge value to the development of the Suez Canal and the Sinai Peninsula because it entails industrial and urban settlements there.The National Company for Fisheries and Aquaculture, which is affiliated with the Armed Forces, right from the beginning, implemented this project in cooperation with the Suez Canal Authority.

In terms of job creation, this project will create 10,000 direct and many indirect jobs and will welcome people from different fields to work together. Thanks to this project, new technology like cage culture will be used for the first time in the country. Egypt’s National Company for Fisheries and Aquaculture will manage the project which has 5,908 fishponds covering more than 15,00 acres. Al-Fayrouz allows Egypt to export some of the farm’s produce across the Middle East. Before this project, Egypt has already made a mark by making the largest fish farm in Africa.

The new project is expected to boost the already 2 million tons of fish produced in that country by adding some 150 thousand tons. The country is thought to consume some 2.4 million tons and the goal is to make Egypt self-sufficient and large exporters of fish. This megaproject will address another major issue. Back in time, when Egyptian fishermen used to go out for a bigger catch, they often violated the maritime borders. The inherentneed to swim aroused due to the depletion of fish stock in the coastal areas of the Mediterranean and Red seas. Illegal and uncontrolled fishing often resulted in conflicts and aggression among the neighboring countries. The action of violating borders and fishing in another country’s waters was taken seriously offensive but farm .

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! Let me know if more countries should do Mega projects like this one?

[arturkoriakin]

Love to see Egypt stepping up. Love this country!

[philippesails]

Would be great to mention how such fishes get fed.
In many cases, fishes get fished, turned into dehydrated fish powder to feed crowded over-antibioticated culture fishes.
So as fascinating as this video is, it may actually hide an ecological and economical disaster.
“Huge” production site doesn’t go along well with quality in food production.

as an egyptian, im very happy for my country!

[gauravstud]

Way to go Egypt! We all want the oldest civilizations to flourish. Love from India.

[LaughingRandomly]

That's awesome, huge fish farm. Now praying for agriculture expansion in Egypt. I'm glad to see helping neighboring countries in the region with the new program‼️

From Australia we have pristine waters in our southern coastlines. And from experience I can tell you that intensive fish farming really pollutes the water quality and then negatively affects the eco systems. If this is happening on a mega scale I really feel sorry for Egypts natural environment and eco systems.

This is not Sustainable farming!
The feed from the fish comes from mass harvesting of wild fish were they are ground up and made into pellets.

*I've got financial forecasts predicting 100% growth in the cancer industry. Seeing food production like this, I now know where that growth is going to come from.*

It's amazing how a country like Egypt can produce food like this in the middle of the desert, while in California USA, we can't have a desalination plant to have fresh water... Some people will wait until the tap runs dry, before they do anything about it, then try to blame someone else for there mistake... It's like the old saying, that everybody wants to go to Heaven, but no body wants to die too get there!!! Sooner or later the State of California will have to make a decision on doing what's best for the whole in spite of the few!!!

The Mayan used floating rafts on their fish ponds to grow crops which were using nutrients from the fish waste in the pond. It can be done if the water of the fish pond is fresh water instead of salt water. (Or if salt tolerant crops are used).

[scottgarriott]

Interesting talk of increased volume and lofty goals for the future, but I was very interested in the futuristic pond structures that were shown again and again. What do they do? How do they work? How efficient and effective are they? What kinds of fish do they produce? How can they be improved?

This video reminds me of high school when you waited until the night before the due date to start on a big research paper. You hastily collected a bunch of stats and them jammed them all together with a bunch of filler words, and presto you had a report that met the minimum word count! Ah, the good old days.

Just found out that China built and funded that mega fish farm. A perfect example of international co-operation in food security making logical sense. This Egyptian farm also exports crayfish and tillapia to China.

[Mark_Linford]

Everything about this was valuable to me as I have seen this as the future for a long time now ..Well done Egypt !

[thesmartArab]

respect from Israel!
Bravo Aleykum ya Masriyun ❤❤

Egypt has been working on their irrigation system for 2000 years.

[tonyokrongly]

What's truly amazing is that all of those fish don't eat anything. They are placed in tanks of water in the middle of a desert and they magically grow into fish... They don't eat grain that's imported or that's grown with fertilizer that's imported. They just grow on sunshine and air. They are truly miraculous.

I live in southern Chile, one of the leading salmon producers in the world. Here the salmon are hatched in clear melt-water from the Andes and grown in the estuaries and fjords. The salmon farms are made up of wire cages suspended in the fast flowing Humboldt Current along our west coast. I foresee some issues in the Egyptian project.
1: There are no clean melt-water in Egypt, so a filtration plant will be required. That requires energy.
2: The fish cages are inland, so water will have to be pumped into there cages. Lots of water. That is not impossible, but again will require lots of energy.
3: The fish poo will have to be cleaned out. How?
4: The temperature of the sea does not vary by much day or night, summer or winter. Those dams look rather shallow. How will this affect the fish? Salmon are easily stressed and then die off in large numbers.
5: What will the fish feed be based on? That will play a huge roll in the sustainability of the project.
6: Why is the Egyptian army involved in the project? Is this just another one of their scams?

My uncle has three huge fish ponds at his home and I have always loved to work around them . Bravo Egypt. Thank you for promoting our continent 👏👏👏🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲🇿🇲
