The activities of AGERI will insure forefront crop biotechnology in Egypt during the coming decades by training the next generation of high caliber scientists. Their dedication is for the production of a widening array of elite crop cultivars and biotechnology based products. Products which are tailored to Egyptian agriculture's quest to maximize production efficiencies with scarce resources of water and arable lands, to reduce environmental degradation and to reduce production risks to the farmer. These efforts will make agrosystem production more economically successful as well as environmentally and socially acceptable.

For the establishment of a core nucleus of biotechnology in Egypt, AGERI is adopting the most recent technologies available worldwide and applying them to addressing existing challenges in Egyptian agriculture.

Adopting and applying the most recent technologies requires the dedication of high quality research facilities to perform the highly technical tasks which are demanded. AGERI has successfully put in place the physical and management structures to meet that demand. The correlation of tasks and facilities can be seen in figure (6).
