“Seize available Agriculture opportunities in Egypt”, RYAF told

Rwanda Youth in Agriculture are called to seize the agricultural opportunities present in Egypt, as a way of developing their agriculture practices at the same time contributing to their homeland’s transformation of the Agriculture sector.

The call was made by Rwanda’s Ambassador to Egypt Sheikh Habimana Saleh who was speaking on Wednesday to a delegation of members of Rwanda Youth Engaged in Agribusiness Forum (RYAF).

The delegation was led by Jean Baptiste Hategikimana who serves as RYAF Chairperson and President of the African Youth in Livestock Fisheries and Aquaculture Incubation Network (AYL-FAIN)

Egypt is one of the African Countries where the total agricultural crop production has increased by more than 20 percent in the past decade.

Egypt’s Government is willing to help African Countries to develop modern Agriculture which will enable the continent to feed its growing population.

“There are so many agricultural opportunities here in Egypt especially for Young people involved in Agriculture sector,” Ambassador Habimana said.

He added that “Young people are the ones who will feed the growing population of this continent through modernized agriculture”

Ambassador Habimana requested young Rwandans to seize Egypt opportunities adding that “It’s time for young people to be the engines of the transformational change of Agriculture in Africa.”

Ambassador Habimana made the call, weeks after two Rwandans elected to the various posts by the members of the African Youth in Livestock Fisheries and Aquaculture Incubation Network (AYL-FAIN).

The elections were held in Egypt during the Pan-African conference on veterinary education establishments where Mr. Jean Baptiste Hategikimana and Nyandwi Alex were respectively elected to the positions of President of AYL_FAIN on Continental Level and Publicity and Social Media on Regional Level.
