Dr. Tarek El-Gammal, President of Assiut University, confirmed that the Faculty of Agriculture represents a permanent pride for the university because of its distinguished scientific figures in various agricultural fields. Also, the remarkable effort of the faculty’s figures is reflected in the surrounding community as it provides scientific advice to farmers and prepares generations of promising young specialists to carry out their tasks in working in various agricultural fields.
