Desert Research Center continues its research activities, in North Sinai region, as part of efforts to survey and classify desert lands located south of El-Arish and El-Sheikh Zuweid. The objective is to assess the land’s suitability for agricultural exploitation
These studies are part of a series of research initiatives, conducted by DRC, under the National Horizontal Agricultural Expansion Project. The project aims to utilize unexploited natural resources in desert areas
Dr. Hosam Shawky, President of Desert Research Center, said that the studies include assessing the land’s suitability for agriculture, identifying constraints, preparing agricultural land-use plans, and determining optimal crop structures and required water quantities. This is in preparation for integrating these areas into Sinai’s agricultural land
