<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn May 2017, a contract for the modern agricultural greenhouse joint project, worth 400 million U.S. dollars, was signed between China and Egypt to mark a new stage of agricultural cooperation between the two sides and a milestone in the development of Egypt\u2019s modern agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSINOMACH-HI started here with only 10 technicians to guide the installment work until the number increased to more than 50 during the process,\u201d Zhang told Xinhua at a greenhouse as vast as a soccer field in the remote city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow the installment work is almost done, so we\u2019re still keeping 30 Chinese technicians to help the Egyptian colleagues complete the work on the scene,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In early 2016, Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi proposed further development of modern facility agriculture in Egypt, urging for a large-scale plantation of greenhouse fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Soon after the initiative, SINOMACH-HI came to Egypt with advanced technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe started the construction of 600 greenhouses with service areas and sorting and packaging storage facilities at the site of the 10th of the Ramadan City in October 2017,\u201d said the Chinese project manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In December 2018, Sisi and SINOMACH-HI general manager Wang Weiyan attended the inauguration of the project in the 10th of Ramadan City in Sharqiya province as part of a massive greenhouse national project in Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Zhang, the planting and other relevant operations started in most greenhouses after the inauguration of the project in late 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He explained that technicians from SINOMACH-HI and Chinese greenhouse manufacturing firms guided the Egyptian workers in the installment process at the construction site, noting that the installment material weighted about 550,000 tons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe construction material and the technical support are all brought from China,\u201d Zhang pointed out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Driving on the spacious and clean highway leading to the project park, the greenhouses can be seen neatly arranged on the roadside, with a surface reflection of the green color inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe greenhouses here produce tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and beans, 15 percent of which is exported to neighboring countries after meeting the domestic market demand in Egypt,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are sorting and packaging facilities attached to the greenhouses where groups of Egyptian women do the job smoothly and in accordance with international standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBesides the packaging workers, each greenhouse has from six to eight personnel for daily operation and maintenance, and the number increases in the plantation seasons of different crops,\u201d Zhang noted, adding that the project in the 10th of Ramadan City can provide about 6,000 job opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said that the project goes in line with China\u2019s Belt and Road Initiative that seeks joint development through win-win cooperation and partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Under SINOMACH-HI\u2019s modern agricultural greenhouse project in Egypt, another set of 2,350 greenhouses are currently being constructed on an area of 3,900 hectares in Abu Sultan village of Egypt\u2019s northeastern province of Ismailia, according to the Chinese project manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHence, there will be altogether 2,950 greenhouses at the two sites after the construction in Abu Sultan is completed, which can provide 30,000 job opportunities to Egyptians and turn about 45 square km of Egyptian desert green,\u201d Zhang said.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" SHARQIYA, Egypt, April 10 (Xinhua) \u2014 China\u2019s greenhouse technologies are currently boosting the development of Egypt\u2019s modern agriculture through the construction of hundreds of greenhouses.
