2:05

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

I would like to thank

2:09

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

you for this opportunity.

2:11

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

Actually,

2:12

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

I believe this project will benefit all of us.

2:15

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

So let's directly start and not waste time.

2:19

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

I know that you have heavy schedule.

2:23

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

Please start with your introduction about this project.

2:27

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

Thank you.

2:47

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Thank you very much.

2:50

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

I wish you could all speak Arabic but for now

2:54

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

allow us to speak this foreign language called English.

2:58

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

Please stop us if anyone would like translation

3:02

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

we can do this during the presentation.

3:06

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So just to open remarks a bit and then I'll allow my colleague

3:11

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and sister Nima to also say something and then our technical

3:15

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

director to show what you're coming here.

3:18

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So first is to thank you all.

3:20

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

I know we've been trying to come and our people

3:24

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

are busy and working but we said we had

3:28

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

already bought tickets,

3:29

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we had already made plans.

3:32

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and he said please allow us to come today and then we will make this presentation

3:36

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and then we can take things from there and see going forward how we

3:40

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

work was to make sure we plan earlier for

3:45

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

that to be fixed in the calendar but thank you very much we

3:49

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

are here to talk about the regional food balance sheet as it

3:53

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

says it's just a food balance sheet this

3:57

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

project started way back in the year 2000

4:01

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

as a response to the coronavirus pandemic.

4:03

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

When we didn't have information coming from everywhere,

4:08

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

some countries were being affected by

4:12

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

food shortages,

4:13

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

especially most of the African countries where we

4:18

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

either import or export.

4:19

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So the commissar wanted a platform,

4:23

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

a digital one,

4:24

S… Speaker 2 (12.m4a)

where we can.

4:27

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

put together information on who has what.

4:30

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So that will be a trade deal,

4:32

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

when Madam from Trades wants to buy rice

4:36

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

from Tanzania or from somewhere in the United States.

4:40

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And so we have operated originally

4:44

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

for our first six countries,

4:46

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and then went to nine countries.

4:48

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Now we're going to start,

4:49

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

so that's for the North.

4:53

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So when we go to Egypt,

4:55

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

go to Sudan,

4:57

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we are already in Ethiopia and Kenya.

5:03

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So that's why we are here to see how Egypt could benefit and

5:07

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

be part of this program.

5:11

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And so I want to invite Nema to say something,

5:14

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and then Roy will give us a presentation.

5:18

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

But if you look at the map,

5:20

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

that's how we are.

5:21

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And we are going forward to other countries,

5:24

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

but in the what we call,

5:25

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

this is the commessa region,

5:27

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the eastern and southern Africa is combined.

5:30

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Nema,

5:31

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

sir.

5:37

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

...

5:37

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

...

5:38

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

...

5:40

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

...

5:40

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

...

6:11

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

I'm not from both

6:18

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

Thank you very

6:23

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

much.

6:36

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

This is the first place of the world.

6:37

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

In the city of Mocer,

6:39

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

there will be 1 ,000 and 1 ,000,

6:42

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

and we have several other places such as the forest,

6:45

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

the forest,

6:47

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

the forest, the forest,

6:49

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

the forest, and the forest.

6:52

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

The idea

6:56

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

of this is that the state is that it is to take place in the city

7:01

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

of Mocer.

7:01

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

... ... ... ... ...

7:29

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

If I have a member of the government,

7:33

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

I will be able to do it.

7:35

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

So I will be able to do it.

7:37

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

So I will be able to do it in Africa.

7:39

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

This is the end of Africa,

7:41

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

such as the difference between the countries and the

7:46

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

countries and the countries and the countries and the countries and the countries and the countries.

7:49

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

Of course,

7:52

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

this is the best way.

7:56

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

... ... ... ... ... ...

8:14

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

...

8:14

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

...

8:16

S… Speaker 4 (12.m4a)

...

8:16

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

... ...

8:54

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

Thank you.

9:08

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

in the dark area of the campus.

9:12

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

Thank you.

9:16

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

Thank you.

9:18

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

Thank you.

9:53

S… Speaker 7 (12.m4a)

What are you so different from Super Bowl?

9:55

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

Right.

9:56

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

4, 4,

9:57

S… Speaker 7 (12.m4a)

6.

10:13

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

Thank you

10:17

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

very much.

10:53

S… Speaker 4 (12.m4a)

It's a great place to be here.

10:56

S… Speaker 4 (12.m4a)

This is good, we are listening to this food

11:17

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

We are speaking

11:22

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

about wheat that Egypt introduced about 10 million

11:26

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

tons for the local consumers

11:30

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

and we export around 10 as well.

11:34

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

So we are exporting 50 % of the...

11:52

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

Thank you.

12:08

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So, yes,

12:09

S… Speaker 7 (12.m4a)

it's good.

12:09

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And so we look at trade with a map there.

12:12

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Is wheat not available

12:16

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

in other Africa countries?

12:18

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Maybe, or maybe not.

12:34

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Thank you very

12:38

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

much.

12:38

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

It could have been said but it's

12:42

S… Speaker 2 (12.m4a)

not quite repeated.

12:43

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

We have to accept that we are in a deep line.

12:47

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Everything has gone deep.

12:50

S… Speaker 2 (12.m4a)

Yes.

12:50

S… Speaker 2 (12.m4a)

Now,

12:51

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

this digital tool will help us address food security,

12:55

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

food insecurity,

12:58

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

trade and investment.

13:00

S… Speaker 2 (12.m4a)

So,

13:01

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

if Egypt,

13:02

S… Speaker 8 (12.m4a)

for example,

13:04

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

is producing certain quantity of goods,

13:06

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

it might not produce all that it needs.

13:09

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So the food balance has to show which country has excess

13:13

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

of what they can import,

13:14

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

like what you have said.

13:16

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Now, for a trader who is looking at opportunities,

13:19

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

for each country is selling such a product and at what price.

13:23

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So you see the different modules.

13:24

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

You see the production,

13:26

S… Speaker 2 (12.m4a)

the stocks,

13:27

S… Speaker 2 (12.m4a)

the price.

13:27

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So the trader will be favored by looking at the price and know where to

13:31

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

buy. The government will use this tool to come up with policies.

13:36

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

If a certain community is low in a certain country,

13:40

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

you cannot export it because the society won't have what to do.

13:43

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So the country puts up a policy on putting a ban on

13:47

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the export.

13:47

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

But puts up a policy on how they can sustain the

13:52

S… Speaker 2 (12.m4a)

population.

13:52

S… Speaker 2 (12.m4a)

So that is important.

13:54

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Country which has access,

13:56

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

support the country which has less.

13:58

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And then we move together as a nation.

14:01

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

I submit.

14:02

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

Okay,

14:03

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

thank you.

14:04

S… Speaker 4 (12.m4a)

Thank you.

14:33

S… Speaker 4 (12.m4a)

Thank you.

15:02

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

This is the first time of the day of

15:06

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

the day of the day.

15:28

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

If it's the same, it'll be 14 years old.

15:38

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

... ... ... ...

16:03

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

For example,

16:04

S… Speaker 7 (12.m4a)

we have children,

16:05

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

and we have children,

16:07

S… Speaker 7 (12.m4a)

but we have children.

16:07

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

However,

16:09

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

children have children,

16:10

S… Speaker 7 (12.m4a)

children,

16:12

S… Speaker 7 (12.m4a)

children, children,

16:12

S… Speaker 7 (12.m4a)

children,

16:13

S… Speaker 7 (12.m4a)

children.

16:17

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

Thank you very much.

16:44

S… Speaker 7 (12.m4a)

Thank you.

16:57

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

. . . .

17:17

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

I don't know.

17:38

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

So while speaking about the sensitive,

17:40

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

the products of Egypt are sensitive

17:45

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

for Egypt,

17:46

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

and we are importing these products,

17:48

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

they are around 5 products,

17:51

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

but we produced the

17:55

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

industrial food process,

17:58

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

that would be around 13.

18:00

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

so we are importing about 13 including agriculture

18:05

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

and industrial products only

18:10

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

about five or six only agriculture they

18:14

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

are including rice wheat oil beans

18:21

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

Soya beans,

18:21

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

yes.

18:22

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

Rice,

18:25

S… Speaker 8 (12.m4a)

maybe...

18:26

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So,

18:31

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

let you present your presentation now,

18:34

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

and we can keep our questions and interventions up until

18:38

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

you finish your presentation.

18:39

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

Please go ahead.

18:50

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So this is the presentation.

18:51

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So the food balance is meant to get

18:55

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

data from all,

18:56

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

from ESA,

18:58

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

even all African countries.

18:59

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we're starting with the basic commodities,

19:02

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

rice, beans,

19:04

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

maize,

19:05

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

wheat, sorghum.

19:06

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we use remote sensing,

19:08

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we use AI,

19:09

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we use machine learning,

19:10

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and we also use government official statistics and estimates.

19:14

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So what we want to do is to present a picture of...

19:18

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

advanced information intelligence to tell you what

19:23

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

is the situation in Egypt,

19:24

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

what is the situation in Ethiopia,

19:25

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

in Kenya, in Zambia,

19:26

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and which commodities are available.

19:29

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So this gives you the form for you to get access into the

19:33

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

system.

19:33

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

You need to tell us the country organization.

19:34

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And then when you get to the system,

19:36

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

this is what you see.

19:37

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we have these modules,

19:38

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

production, stocks,

19:40

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

trade.

19:41

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

rice, and we also have utilization.

19:44

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we want

19:49

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

to give you a trend of the last five years.

19:51

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

We'll tell you how the situation has been for any of those commodities.

19:54

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So for example,

19:55

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

if you look at the last five years,

19:58

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we can tell you if

20:00

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

production has been increasing or decreasing in any of the countries in Africa.

20:03

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So you can be able to see if there is a problem,

20:05

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

you can see it in advance.

20:07

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So if you look at the map,

20:08

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

you can see the red colours show that there is a problem with a decline in production

20:12

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

or in something that affects the economy.

20:16

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So this system at least gives you intelligence from a national

20:20

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

perspective and also from the old research so that you can see where do we need

20:24

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

to do in production or where do we need to do more trade.

20:28

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Then when we look at production,

20:29

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we look at production in detail.

20:31

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

We look at the remote sensing based production.

20:34

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So what that means is we work with NASA Harvest,

20:37

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

which is a Lynch University of Maryland.

20:41

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So they take photos of the farms and give you an estimate of the production based

20:46

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

on the images of the renovation.

20:47

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we also have an artificial intelligence model that is able to look

20:52

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

at historical data and produce the production for seasonal production.

20:56

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

But we also have the government giving them production estimates.

20:59

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we have three different sources of production estimates.

21:03

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And then we have a national food partnership committee in each country.

21:06

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

They sit together at least the farmers,

21:08

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the producers, the traders,

21:09

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

they sit,

21:10

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the manufacturers,

21:11

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

all the stakeholders in there.

21:12

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

If you're talking about wheat,

21:14

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

anyone that is dealing with wheat,

21:15

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

they come to the food partnership committee and they validate the data at a national level.

21:19

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So they ask questions about production and estimates and what is required.

21:23

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And then they validate the country level data.

21:26

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Then when you look at the other components,

21:29

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

which is stocks,

21:29

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we also monitor when the strategic food reserve agency is holding.

21:34

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So like if it's here,

21:35

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

I believe in Egypt,

21:36

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we also have a strategic food reserve agency that is responsible for holding stocks

21:40

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

of wheat.

21:41

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So in case there's any production deficit or there's a drought on our families,

21:45

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

at least they know how much they hold every single month.

21:48

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So that production,

21:50

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

that stock number is held every month.

21:53

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we can see for the whole year which month we need to buy,

21:55

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we need to sell,

21:56

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we need to buy from the farmers and which ones we need to import.

22:00

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Every country does this.

22:01

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So they have that position and then they also have the farmers who

22:05

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

have storage.

22:06

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we also estimate how much is held by the farmers because sometimes

22:10

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the farmers produce and then they take aside some and...

22:13

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

They have some stocks in the household level.

22:15

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we also have that figure.

22:16

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And then we have the demand from the processors,

22:19

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the people who make bread,

22:20

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the people who process the wheat.

22:21

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

How much stocks do they have?

22:24

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Because they try to need to hold stocks for maybe two,

22:27

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

three months so that they can continuously process.

22:29

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we also have that figure.

22:30

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So when you look at the food balance sheet,

22:32

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

you'll now be able to see every month how much stocks are being held by a country.

22:36

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So if you talk about Egypt,

22:37

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we need the government to give us that planning schedule.

22:41

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So for 2027,

22:42

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

how much will the food reserve agency need to hold in terms of stock?

22:45

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

How much will the traders be having?

22:49

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And even when they import,

22:50

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we need that data now on the trade side.

22:53

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we also monitor how much is being imported,

22:55

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

how much is being exported.

22:57

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And so because we're doing this as a planning tool,

23:00

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

so we're doing it in advance.

23:01

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So what we normally ask,

23:03

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we ask all those organizations to give us their plan for 2027,

23:07

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

for example.

23:08

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So you tell us,

23:08

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the Strategic Reserve Agency,

23:10

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

what level of wheat stocks will you be holding from January to December.

23:15

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So that is your plan.

23:16

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

It's just an Excel worksheet that says January,

23:19

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

December, total stocks held by the Strategic Reserve Agency.

23:23

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So also the millers,

23:24

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

they tell you what is the demand they need for the whole year and how much they

23:28

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

estimated to be holding each of those markets.

23:30

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And if they are trading,

23:31

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

how much the plan would you buy?

23:33

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we know,

23:34

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

of course, if you buy from Ukraine,

23:36

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

if you buy from Russia,

23:37

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

from those different countries.

23:39

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So you tell us the plan,

23:40

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

how much will be available,

23:41

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and also looking at historical data.

23:43

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

You know when you need to buy,

23:44

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

when it comes in what months you need to have that data.

23:47

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So essentially,

23:48

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

this tool is a planning tool for each country to give their plan.

23:52

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And then we try and see in what ways can we

23:56

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

help each other to trade.

23:58

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So the other thing we have is the price. So every factor will tell you what is there.

24:03

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

price in USD per metric ton for commodity.

24:06

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So when you go to the food balance sheet,

24:08

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

you will see if you pick wheat,

24:09

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

you can see which country,

24:11

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

what is the price and what is available.

24:14

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So the idea behind this is if the other countries are able

24:18

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

to supply maybe the 10 ,000 metric tons that

24:22

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Egypt needs for wheat,

24:23

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

you can be able to see how much is it in Zambia,

24:25

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

how much is it in Malawi.

24:27

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Do they even produce enough?

24:29

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

to be able to supply or you need to buy it from somewhere.

24:32

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So the idea of what price is to see the market price so

24:37

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

that traders can make that decision.

24:39

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Are we able to buy and transport it all the way to Egypt or can we buy

24:43

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

it from Zambia to Kenya?

24:44

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

What is the logistics about it?

24:46

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So I'll show you that in the system.

24:48

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So the other side is utilization.

24:50

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we track what is the requirement for human consumption.

24:53

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

How much is the per capita consumption?

24:56

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

for a particular community so we look at

25:00

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

which is a per -capital consumption for the population.

25:02

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

We think that will give us a total requirement for food in Egypt.

25:06

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

I think it's around 20 million metric tons in a row.

25:09

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So that is the figure that you need to produce in Egypt.

25:12

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

If they're not able,

25:13

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

you need to import it.

25:14

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And if the other countries in the commercial region,

25:17

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

are they able to produce?

25:18

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So you calculate each country,

25:20

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

what is your consumption,

25:21

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

what is your production,

25:22

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and then utilization,

25:23

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we also look at how much is required for the feed industry,

25:26

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

for the seeds,

25:27

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and for other industrial use.

25:29

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

so if it's rich you also look at is it used for beer or is it used for any

25:33

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

other item apart from food so we also have brilliant we also have sorghum

25:37

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we also have glaze so we look at how is that is it even swear is

25:41

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

it used for manufacturing feed

25:43

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So when you look at a commodity,

25:44

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

you look at all those indicators.

25:46

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

You look at the utilisation that is needed for that commodity.

25:49

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So essentially what you are doing,

25:51

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

each country is preparing a national food balance sheet.

25:54

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

The way you do is FAO.

25:56

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And this food balance sheet is looking forward.

25:58

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

You are not reporting what has happened.

26:00

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

You are projecting and focusing what will happen.

26:03

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So that if every country is able to do it,

26:05

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

you can see other places where a commercial can work together and

26:09

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

be able to trade.

26:11

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and use this food balance sheet for giving information and policy direction.

26:15

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So the other thing is that we have three other data contributors.

26:19

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So there's the Bureau for Food and Arquitecture Policy based in South Africa,

26:23

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

which now does the same food balance sheet,

26:25

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

but using intelligence and using artificial intelligence.

26:30

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And it looks at other factors like world markets,

26:34

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

exchange rates.

26:35

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

It looks at situations like the power of the war,

26:39

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the price for commodities,

26:41

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

for fertilizer.

26:42

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So it looks at all those indicators and comes up with an equilibrium price

26:46

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

solution in addition to what the government has given.

26:50

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Then the other one is the AI model based on historical FAO

26:55

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

data that Egypt has already given for the last maybe 20 years.

26:58

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So it looks at how the situation has been,

27:00

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the impact,

27:01

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the yield,

27:02

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the production estimate,

27:03

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

the service losses,

27:04

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

then it makes a prediction of how the food

27:08

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

balance is going to be for Egypt.

27:09

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So when you have all these data sources,

27:12

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we now compile food balance sheets for the countries we are working with,

27:16

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

which now I want to show you quickly on the

27:20

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

system itself.

27:21

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And then we can go into discussions.

27:25

S… Speaker 6 (12.m4a)

So

27:32

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

as it opens...

27:33

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And that's actually as we're talking and doing this.

27:35

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we get most of our weeks now in Egypt from Ukraine.

27:38

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

But Ukraine is at war.

27:41

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

What if that thing escalates that they can't sell weeks?

27:44

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

We have to look for other places.

27:46

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

And these two come and say,

27:48

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

oh, there's wheat in Kenya,

27:49

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

or there's wheat in another place,

27:53

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and then you can...

27:54

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

Government is going to...

27:56

S… Speaker 3 (12.m4a)

That's why

28:01

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

we want to go back into the platform where you can go.

28:03

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

There are oranges in Uganda.

28:07

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

There is rice in Tanzania which you can buy

28:12

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

easily if another source is blocked.

28:14

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

The world keeps on changing and we are preparing for that.

28:32

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

which gives you the reports for food balances,

28:34

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

production,

28:35

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

stocks,

28:36

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

trade, price,

28:37

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

utilisation.

28:37

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Then on the side you have about,

28:39

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

data sources,

28:40

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and then these are other machine learning,

28:43

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

user management,

28:43

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

these are for the administrator.

28:44

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So you're on the food balance sheet,

28:46

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

you can pick any commodity.

28:47

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So you first pick a commodity,

28:49

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

whether it's greens,

28:50

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

maize,

28:51

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

I think for a discussion with a child,

28:53

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

focus on wheat.

28:53

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So you pick wheat,

28:55

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

and then you can see the data contributors.

28:57

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So we have different people giving us data.

28:59

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

We have the Bureau for Food and Agriculture Policy,

29:01

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

which is a policy institution that has market

29:05

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

monitors, it has experts that are looking at data and

29:09

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

coming up with reports.

29:11

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

So they are analytic providers.

29:12

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Then you have FAO stat,

29:14

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

which we all know,

29:14

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

which is FAO,

29:16

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

their statistics website.

29:18

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

We pick data from it on a daily and a monthly basis.

29:22

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

Then you have Fusenet,

29:23

S… Speaker 1 (12.m4a)

they also look at the food security situation in Africa,
