Agreement to set up poultry equipment project in Egypt's Qantara West Industrial Zone

The Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) has signed an agreement to establish the United Trade Co. for Poultry Equipment project in the Qantara West Industrial Zone in Egypt.

With a total investment of $3.3 million, the project will span 9,800 square meters and focus on assembling equipment for poultry farming and production. It is expected to generate 100 direct job opportunities.

SCZone Chairman Walid Gamal El-Din emphasized the strategic importance of Qantara West Industrial Zone as a thriving center for food industries and agricultural processing.

He highlighted the zone's proximity to fertile agricultural lands, transportation networks, and key ports, which facilitate seamless access to raw materials and efficient distribution of products both locally and internationally. The industrial zone plays a crucial role in adding value to agricultural products, fostering agri-food manufacturing, and attracting investments through a well-developed infrastructure and competitive incentives.

By leveraging advanced technology in the assembly and manufacturing of poultry farming equipment, the project aims to enhance production efficiency and elevate the quality of Egyptian poultry products.

Notably, United Trade Co. for Poultry Equipment marks the 13th project within Qantara West Industrial Zone and the second investment in the food industries sector, following the Turkish Saray Company.

With this addition, the total investments in the industrial zone now stand at $514.3 million, solidifying its status as a prime destination for industrial and agricultural investments.
