This stamp commemorates a major milestone in Egypt's mid-century economic self-determination, state infrastructure, and industrial progress: the 14th Agricultural and Industrial Exhibition held in Cairo in 1931. The central design depicts an ancient Egyptian agricultural scene based on pharaonic tomb reliefs, illustrating three laborers harvesting grain with traditional sickles and gathering wheat sheaves beside local wildlife.
