Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab met on Thursday with Environment Minister Khalid Fahmy for talks on the ministry's efforts to confront burning rice straw in different provinces.
It also tackled the ministry's study on the establishment of an economic body to manage Egypt's nature reserves.
The minister briefed Mahalb on a suggestion to collect rice straw from farmers through small stations that will send them to big factories for recycling.
This way will provide jobs to youths and turn rice raw to useful products, he added.
Every year a noxious black smog hangs over Egypt as the seasonal burning of rice straw by farmers begins, causing more air pollution.
