Strategic Meeting to Support Agricultural Growth

Raya Foods, a portfolio company of Raya Holding for Financial Investments, held a

strategic meeting with the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation to explore

potential areas of cooperation.

The meeting aligns with Egypt’s Vision 2030 and aims to advance the agricultural

sector, empower farmers, and increase sustainable food production and exports.

Showcasing the RAP Program

During the session, Raya Foods presented its flagship agricultural program, “RAP,” which

plays a crucial role in aligning local farming with global technical specifications and food safety standards.

The program is designed to deliver customized agricultural outputs that meet the unique

needs of international buyers.

Focus on High-Demand Global Crops

Discussions included proposals to expand into high-demand crops, such as jalapeños, which

have strong international market potential.

The company also explored opportunities to secure support from international

financial institutions to scale up operations.

Empowering Farmers Through Innovation

Commenting on the meeting, Omar Abdelaziz, CEO of Raya Foods, stated:

“Through RAP, we empower Egyptian farmers by combining training, technical support, and

smart financing, which enhances production quality and improves the global competitiveness

of our exports.”

He also emphasized the company’s leadership in exporting over 3,000 products annually

to 50 countries, all produced from 100% locally sourced raw materials.

Adopting Smart Agriculture Solutions

Raya Foods is investing in smart agriculture technologies, including modern irrigation

systems and drone-enabled crop management, to optimize productivity and sustainability.

Global Reach with Local Roots

Raya Foods specializes in the processing and export of frozen fruits and vegetables, exporting

99% of its products to global markets such as the United States, Europe, Asia, and the GCC, while

also serving local consumers with innovative, high-quality food solutions.

Driving Sustainable Agricultural Development

The company continues to expand its agricultural network and strengthen its role in the

agri-industrial value chain, driving innovation, efficiency, and export competitiveness.

This reinforces Raya Holding’s position as a leading force in Egypt’s private sector

support for agricultural development.
