dc.description.abstract | Publicly available estimates suggest that close to 30%
of total employment in Egypt is generated from the
agricultural sector (World Bank, 2016). In percentage
terms, the figure is in line with many economies, both
industrialized and developing. Considering population
estimates of close to 90 million, the number of
people (27 million) economically engaged within
an arable land area equal to 3% of the total area is,
however, overwhelming. Given cultural norms for
inheritance, coupled with population growth, farm
holdings have steadily decreased over time. With an
average land parcel of 1 feddan (0.42 hectares), rural
farm households are constrained in the efficient
and effective use of commercialized machinery, and
disputes over the sharing of irrigation water within
public canals are not uncommon. | en_US |
