This is the name of a committee formed by the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation. The document is a decision to grant an Import Permit of some kind of seeds. The imported item in Arabic "Taqawa Barseem Hijazy". Could it by any chance simply mean :Seeds"? Thanks.

تقاوى spawn

Explanation:
That is the term used in agricultural references. It is always used in the singular form.

In fact, some Arabic sources even use the word سـبون

Try googling "spawn" in agricultural contexts, along with تقاوى and even سـبون

I hope this will help you find an acceptable English translation for the name of this committee.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thanks Fuad, but I don't think "spawn" will fit in this title. In our area it more used as Mushroom "seed". Thanks again.
