Appropriate agricultural technologies (AAT) could greatly improve Egypt's agricultural production. This paper compares successful AAT projects in Turkey and Pakistan with ongoing efforts in Egypt, particularly the AID-funded Small Scale Agricultural Activities Project (SSAA), identifying points of commonality and developing a generalized approach to AAT. Successful projects had six points in common: (1) an agricultural need was identified; (2) an AAT was developed to meet that need; (3) a prototype was developed/adapted to the technical capabilities of local manufacturers; (4) the product was field tested; (5) the prototype was modified after trials; and (6) the product was extended to manufacturers and end-users. The main agricultural needs in Egypt were identified as: (1) mechanization with tractors, appropriate tractor attachments, and farm implements; (2) cottage and agro-industries (e.g., food processing); and (3) alternative energy technologies using solar, wind, and biogas power. AAT can only be implemented if the Government of Egypt, Western donors, and recipient farmers have a positive attitude towards new technologies and are given adequate research and development (R&D)

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year
