Abstract

Wheat is considered a strategic crop in Egypt, as the area planted with wheat in the 2023/2024 agricultural season reached about 3.2 million acres, with a production of about 9.5 million tons, as the self-sufficiency rate of wheat is estimated at about 50% in 2022. The sustainable agricultural strategy in Egypt 2030 aims to increase the self-sufficiency rate of wheat to about 70% in 2030, through horizontal expansion in old lands and vertical expansion by increasing productivity from land units and irrigation water by expanding the cultivation of high-yielding, resistant and tolerant varieties to all environmental pressures. Economic evaluation of wheat crop (Ismailia (1) Al-Fattah Al-Aleem strain) tolerant to salinity, heat and drought, which was tested under different levels of water and soil salinity, where its cultivation was tested in different regions and by multiple scientific bodies (Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation - Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation - Faculties of Agriculture in Egyptian universities at the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research), and the results showed the feasibility of cultivating this strain in lands with relatively high salinity that use water with relatively high salinity, which will be positively reflected in increasing farmers' income, increasing total wheat production, raising the self-sufficiency rate and reducing the import bill from abroad on the other hand.
