Innovation and Technology

At The Farms Foods, we believe that embracing innovation and leveraging advanced technology is key to revolutionizing agriculture and ensuring a sustainable future. Our commitment to incorporating cutting-edge solutions extends across all aspects of our operations, enabling us to optimize resources, enhance productivity, and deliver high-quality products. Here are three major areas where innovation and technology drive our success:

1. Smart Farming: Harnessing Data for Precision Agriculture

To address the challenges of modern agriculture, The Farms Foods has partnered with Tamkeen, a leading local provider of agricultural smart farming toolkits. Utilizing advanced technologies such as Hydrosat and IrriWatch, our smart farming system delivers real-time data and insights to improve crop management and irrigation practices.

Through these tools, we can:

• Monitor soil moisture levels and weather conditions with precision, ensuring efficient water usage.
• Optimize fertilizer applications to enhance crop yields while reducing environmental impact.
• Detect potential crop stress early, enabling timely interventions to maintain quality and productivity.

By integrating data-driven decision-making into our farming practices, we are setting new standards for efficiency and sustainability, ensuring healthier crops and reduced resource waste.

2. Solar-Powered Farms and Facilities: Pioneering Green Energy

As part of our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, The Farms Foods has transitioned the electricity supply network in our Elfarafra farm from diesel generators to a solar energy system. Collaborating with Egypt’s leading solar energy supplier, this initiative highlights our dedication to eco-friendly operations.

Key benefits of our solar power integration include:

• Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
• Lowering operational costs, enabling us to invest in further advancements.
• Providing a reliable and sustainable energy source to power medium-tension equipment and our expanding operations.

Looking ahead, we aim to transition all our farms to fully solar-powered systems, solidifying our position as a pioneer in green agriculture and contributing to global efforts to combat climate change.

3. Future Developments: Building a Modern Agricultural Ecosystem

The Farms Foods is continuously investing in future-focused projects to enhance our capabilities and meet growing market demands. Our key development plans include:

• Processing, Inspection, and Packing Station in Wadi-El Natrun: Strategically located near Egyptian ports, this facility will streamline the preparation, inspection, and packaging of crops for export while maintaining the highest quality standards for local markets.
• Potato Grading and Packing Line: We are completing the construction of a state-of-the-art line for grading, inspecting, and packing potatoes. This facility will cater to high-demand clients, such as PepsiCo (Chipsy), ensuring superior product quality and timely delivery.

These initiatives reflect our vision for a robust and sustainable agricultural ecosystem that prioritizes innovation, efficiency, and market readiness.
