AGRANA will expand its presence in the Middle
East and Africa (MEA) with a production plant in Egypt in addition to
its existing facilities in Turkey and South Africa.
AGRANA and Nile Fruits, a group based in Egypt with a significant 
track record in fruit processing in the Middle East and North Africa 
(MENA) region, plan to set up a new joint venture company in the 
first quarter 2010 and start production in the fourth quarter.
"This new joint venture constitutes an important strategic step 
towards AGRANA´s expansion in the fast growing market for dairy 
products in the Middle East and Africa. It will give us the 
opportunity to supply international dairy companies producing in 
Egypt, but also in the neighbouring countries, by taking advantage of
the favourable local production opportunities and the duty-free 
access to these markets", explains Johann Marihart, CEO AGRANA 
Beteiligungs-AG.
