Capital Agro launches $25M frozen food logistics complex to boost Egypt’s cold chain capacity

Capital Agro for Import & Export Group has unveiled plans for a US$25 million logistics complex dedicated to frozen food storage and distribution, marking a major leap in Egypt’s cold chain infrastructure. With US$15 million allocated for 2025 and a further US$10 million through 2027, the investment underscores the company’s commitment to enhancing national food security and logistics efficiency.

Strategically located in Belbeis, Sharkia Governorate, the 30,000 square metre facility will integrate large-scale freezers, automated sorting and packaging lines, and a digitalised “goods bank” system to manage full-cycle operations — from storage to withdrawal and trading. The hub’s operational capacity will exceed 30,000 pallets, making it one of the most significant logistics developments in Egypt this year.

Capital Agro is introducing advanced AI-driven systems to monitor temperature, optimise inventory, and improve traceability across the supply chain. The facility will run on renewable and solar energy, aligning with Egypt’s sustainability targets and reducing the site’s environmental footprint.

Built on land owned by the Sharkia National Food Company under a 25-year usufruct agreement, the complex will also provide warehousing and trading services for fruits, vegetables, and frozen goods, leveraging its proximity to major seaports, industrial zones, and agricultural centres.

With over a decade of expertise in food import, export, and cold storage management, Capital Agro aims to establish a model for smart, energy-efficient logistics that strengthens Egypt’s storage, distribution, and export capabilities.
