''Jungle Talks to the World'' travels for the first time to North Africa. Following episodes on horticulture in Kenya, Ethiopia, South Africa and Uganda, the spotlight is now put on Egypt. Egypt is the land of pharao's, the river Nile and deserts. The river Nile is the lifeblood of the country and birthplace of its unique, ancient civilization. Besides, it's also the most important reason that the country is an important horticultural player in the region.

Thursday 1 July and Thursday 8 July (16.00 - 17.00 hrs CEST)

Melle Leenstra, the Dutch Agricultural Counsellor based in Cairo will discuss the recent developments in the horticultural sector in Egypte. Subsequently, Gert-Jan Krook en Tarek El Said (Rijk Zwaan Egypte), Engy El Arnaouti (Bio Egypt) and Mohamed Elbassioni (Flora Mix Egypt) will share more on the current situation and future outlook of the production of greenhouse vegetables and floricultural products.

Themes to be discussed during these upcoming episodes are among others the opportunities and challenges regarding water usage, the newly implemented 'organic law' and of course how investors, importers or exporters of knowledge and technology can benefit most of the enormous domestic market and the opportunities this country, home to 104 million people, offers towards the export of horticultural products.

On Thursday July 1, 16.00 hrs CEST the four guests to the show will introduce themselves and discuss the current situation in horticulture in Egypt. One week later they will discuss the themes mentioned above.
