Egyptian Food Processing Campus – Export-Oriented Agri-Industry

Requirement

A greenfield food processing campus in Egypt's Sadat City Industrial Zone seeks $26.5 million in equity investment. The campus will house integrated fruit and vegetable processing, date processing, and olive oil production for regional and international markets. The project comprises a 20,000 square metre processing facility on 50,000 square metres of industrial land. Production lines include IQF freezing and drying for fruits and vegetables, date processing and packing (5,000 tonnes annual capacity), and olive oil pressing and bottling. Target markets span Middle East, Europe, and North Africa. We seek strategic investors, food industry players seeking African processing capacity, and private equity funds. Egypt offers compelling fundamentals: abundant agricultural inputs, competitive labor costs, free trade access to EU, Middle East, and Africa. The project benefits from Egypt's investment incentives including 5-year tax holiday, customs exemptions on imported equipment, and subsidized land pricing. Agricultural raw material availability is secured through supply agreements with farming cooperatives and contract growers. Target returns of 20-25% IRR with 5-year investment horizon. Construction timeline is 18 months with phased commissioning.
