Our company started its business in 1995, in agricultural adventure by reclaiming 1000 acres of fertile soil and started to cultivate them with all kinds of citrus. We decided to expand every year in more areas and to increase the plantations in three main areas which are Wadi EL Malak , Wadi EL Natron and Sadat. In 2017, AGREEN had 18500 acres of citrus fruits with a total production of 200,000 tons though there were more than 30% of the planted trees didn’t come into production due to young trees which were planted two years ago.
Citrus from Egypt
AGREEN is planning to plant 9,500 acres of new varieties of citrus in 2018, AGREEN production will reach half million tons of citrus in year 2025. AGREEN has in its citrus farms all varieties of oranges, Mandarins, Lemons and Grape fruit. In 2007, AGREEN focused on exporting and decided to cut the Middlemen and go directly to export its production to all countries instead of selling the fruits on trees to the Egyptian exporters.
AGREEN is exporting nowadays more than 170,000 tons out of its productions and the rest of production is being sold to the local Egyptian market.
