The Supply Ministry will issue tenders in August to private investors for the development of 27 logistical centers across the country, ministry sources tell Al Mal. Sources added that the first centers will be established in Upper Egypt. The Supply Ministry has been looking to collaborate more with private sector players recently as it seeks to upgrade its infrastructure and transport capacity. It recently signed an agreement with Ukraine’s Nibulon that will see the latter invest USD 2 bn in new grain storage silos and barges along the banks of the Nile.
