He directed that state institutions provide full support for strategic initiatives, particularly the construction of modern grain silos. He further called for accelerating efforts to expand agricultural land, boost productivity, and modernise agricultural processing, with a focus on ensuring a fair balance between the interests of producers and consumers.

He called for strict adherence to implementation timelines to ensure that the projects deliver tangible results for citizens and strengthen Egypt's long-term growth prospects.
