Why Egypt
Egypt, the most populous country in the Arab world, is home to 97 million inhabitants. With ambitious plans for modernisation, Egypt’s food and beverage sector continues to attract both local and international companies who are drawn to its large domestic consumer market, strategic geographical location in the heart of the MENA region, and strong and cost-effective labour force.
- Egypt holds a large and rapidly growing consumer base, and the spending per capita on food and non-alcoholic beverages is forecast to grow from USD $262 in 2017 to USD $436 by 2022.
- The EU is Egypt’s biggest import and export partner, covering 29.7% of Egypt’s trade volume in 2017.
- Major foreign investors such as Kellogg, Cargill, Pepsi and Coca-Cola have shown interest in mergers and acquisitions in Egypt.
- New legislative and regulatory measures aimed at boosting foreign direct investment in Egypt have had a positive impact on the industry.
