Integrated Agriculture–Aquaculture (IAA) in Egypt is technically feasible and offers major benefits for water efficiency, food security, and income diversification, but adoption remains limited due to high setup costs, weak technical capacity, and fragmented governance. Market demand for fish and crops is strong, yet premium markets for IAA products are undeveloped. Scaling requires coordinated action across seven pillars: policy stability, capacity building, financial support, value chain development, data and research, climate adaptation, and market awareness. Key recommendations include establishing training centers, simplifying licensing, providing soft loans, creating pilot farms, and promoting branding and certification for IAA products.
