The project will produce 100k tons of agri-food products annually in its first phase, with more than 80% of the production earmarked for export, the cabinet statement reads.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The complex will be home to five factories:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The largest factory in Egypt for tomato concentrates;<\/li>\n<li>The largest plant in Egypt for citrus concentrates;<\/li>\n<li>The first individual quick-freezing facility in Egypt;<\/li>\n<li>The first factory for cloudy concentrates in the region;<\/li>\n<li>A freeze-drying products plant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>All eyes are on exports: <\/strong>Beltone Investment Banking \u2014 MAFI\u2019s sole financial advisor \u2014 and established industrial investor Abou Hashima explored several export-oriented industries, before settling on the fully-integrated food processing complex, Betlone\u2019s group deputy CEO and head of investment banking, Mohamed Aboulfadl told Enterprise. The new complex will also help Egypt climb the value chain by exporting value-added food products in larger volumes, instead of just exporting raw produce, Aboulfadl added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>BACKGROUND- <\/strong>Before the relatively recent (and ongoing) buildout of logistics and cold-chain infrastructure, as much as half of all produce grown in Upper Egypt and some other parts of the country would spoil on the way to market in Cairo. On the value chain side: We are world-class exporters of citrus, strawberries, and other fruits, but have struggled to gain a foothold in value-added products. Abou Hashima rose to prominence as an entrepreneur with high-profile investments in Egyptian Cement and Egyptian Steel. Egypt\u2019s agriculture and agrifoods businesses are notorious underperformers. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>FDI incoming: <\/strong>The new complex is a partnership between Abou Hashima and a \u201cforeign partner\u201d who will bring the vast majority of equity contribution as a foreign direct investment. Beltone Investment Banking is currently working with MAFI to raise international and local debt financing, Aboulfadl added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>More to come: <\/strong>The complex is expected to be operational within 18 months, with a plan to expand the capacity of the five factories and add more factories in a second phase. The complex is targeting B2B clients mainly in Europe, the US, and GCC, Aboulfadl added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Who is
