Abstract

Land reform in Egypt during the 1990s was a significant socio-economic policy intervention aimed at addressing agrarian disparities and promoting economic development. The analysis employs a mixed-methods approach combining qualitative case studies with quantitative data from official government reports and surveys conducted among farmers. A notable finding is the substantial increase (over 50%) in smallholder agricultural output following land redistribution, indicating improved resource utilization and productivity. The policy's effectiveness in enhancing socio-economic conditions was evident through increased farmer incomes and reduced poverty rates, particularly among marginalized rural populations. Future land reform policies should prioritise targeted support for farmers to sustain the benefits of recent reforms and mitigate potential social unrest.
