Since 1932, our family is owner of an agricultural land of 350 acres
located in the only area in Egypt where artichokes are grown. This is
some 30 Km south of Alexandria. Since then, artichokes have been always
grown in this land. In 1985, we erected the first artichokes fully
mechanized packinghouse for sorting, sizing, packing. Fresh artichokes
were exported by airfreight and reefer containers by sea freight. In
1988, we introduced artichokes pre-cooling facilities. This was the
first and the unique one in Egypt. We produce and export: frozen bottoms
(crowns), frozen hearts, frozen stuffing bottoms
