<\/a> Danone is looking to invest EGP 1 bn in Egypt over the next five years<\/strong>, which would double the company\u2019s total investments in the country, CEO Haitham Sadek tells Al<\/a>Borsa<\/a>. The company is looking to add new production lines and upgrade existing ones, as well as ramping up exports to Africa in order to capitalize on Egypt\u2019s increased support<\/a> for exporters to the rest of the continent, Sadek said.<\/p>\n

The planned investment comes on the back of the company\u2019s most successful year in over five years<\/strong>, which Sadek credits to the company sourcing 70% of its raw materials from local manufacturers. That\u2019s helped the Paris-listed multinational food company sidestep the supply chain and shipping bottlenecks that have been a hallmark of 2021.<\/p>\n
