Importing

In 2000 after studying the local market needs, GECO observed that the Egyptian market needs more fertilizers than our factories can provide, so GECO added importing the best quality of the following below varieties from different exporting countries such as: Yemen, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia and Belgium.

  • Fertilizers (Ammonium Nitrate, Potassium Sulphate, Urea and Sulphate Ammonium).
  • Animal feeding – (Coarse Wheat Bran).
  • Seed Potatoes
