Agriculture is a
basic element in the regional comprehensive and integrated development
in Red Sea Governorate either through providing the food supply required
for the development in the region or taking part in the attraction of
new population from the crowded places over the
Nile banks and confronting the expected increase in the
population and consumption. The southern triangle (Shalateen, Halayeb,
Abu-Ramad) is one of the most important places for the agricultural
investment in addition to the other cities in the Governorate. Here are
the areas suggested for the agricultural investment:
|
|
|
Ras
Ghareb
|
|
|
- Cultivation
of 500000 acres in Araba valley (to the south of Zafarana), they can be
irrigated by groundwater from El-Bowerat well
- Cultivation
of Ghareb basin by the groundwater in the area as it is possible to
excavate 4000 cubic meters of medium-salinity water every day that can
be used in irrigating citrus fruits and barely
Cultivation of Dara
valley |
|
|
Hurghada
|
|
|
- Cultivation
of Esh Al-Malaha basin which has a lot of groundwater
- Implementation
of agricultural projects by using wastewater
|
|
|
Safaga
|
|
|
- Cultivation
of 75000 acres in Qena valley, the western part can be irrigated by
groundwater available in Nubian sandstone
|
|
|
Qusair
|
|
|

|
|
|
-
Cultivation of 250000 acres in this region as
it has a groundwater tank near the Red Sea
coast and in Hodain
Valley. Lots of water is
collected from floods, it only needs to prepare places to exploit the
collected water in the cultivation of this area which receives seasonal
rains and contains a lot of groundwater in the valleys that may
contribute in making cultural development. There is a valley in this
region called De'aib valley, it wastes the water of floods and rain in
the Red Sea, it only requires to build
dams. This valley also contains a stock of groundwater and has good-soil
lands.

Halayeb are main places that provides opportunities for livestock
investment as there are 60 sites containing groundwater in 100 km-wide
area to the south of Shalateen which is suitable for breeding cattle,
camels and horses. Add to this the projects that can be established in
the other cities
