What’s the future of food subsidies in Egypt?
Hoda El-Enbaby and Clemens Breisinger - IFPRI
Maria Laura Sanchez Puerta - World Bank
In Egypt’s current context of wide-ranging economic reforms, there is growing momentum to improve the longstanding Tamween food subsidy system. Tamween’s ration cards benefit around 70 million people, while the bread subsidy benefits around 83 million people, and together they make up about 6 percent of the government’s budget. During a workshop organized by the World Bank under the auspices of the Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade (MoSIT), on May 20th, 2019, Marina Wes (World Bank Country Director for Egypt, Yemen and Djibouti) emphasized the potential expected gains of reforming the subsidy program, and the importance of learning from other countries while contextualizing to Egypt-specific conditions.

Given the pace and scale of urbanization, combined with global pressures on food systems such as climate change, a number of initiatives have emerged in recent years to help the world’s cities build sustainable and resilient food systems.

Climate change has become a matter of major concern at various levels in Egypt. Attention is now being paid to a range of scenarios associated with the rising levels of the Mediterranean Sea and the correlation between the sea-level-rise and the potential inundation of some coastal areas across the Delta of Egypt, as well as the prospective impact on agricultural productivity in quantitative and qualitative terms.
