Egyptian Agriculture Services and Trade (EGAST) was established in 1982 in Alexandria and is a proud family-owned company operating in the Egyptian market. We specialize in the agricultural reclamation sector, with a primary focus on potato cultivation.
As a well-established business, we made the strategic decision to expand our operations in 2005 by entering international markets. In a short span of time, we emerged as one of Egypt's largest exporters of fruits and vegetables, establishing ourselves as industry leaders.
To ensure the highest quality of our products, we continuously improve our methods. Our highly skilled experts employ advanced techniques and adhere to stringent quality control standards throughout the harvesting and post-harvesting processes.
We export a wide range of crops throughout the year. Our mainstay crop is potatoes, and we produce an impressive 250,000 metric tons annually. In addition to potatoes, we also export various citrus fruits such as Navel, Valencia, Mandarins, and Lemons. Our product range further includes pomegranates, onions, iceberg lettuce, mangoes, and peanuts. We take great pride in being a leading exporter of fresh fruits and vegetables. Currently, our annual revenue stands at $70 million. Moving forward, we are determined to expand our export portfolio and achieve even greater success in the future.
