Economic Features
| Revenue Stream | Sales and maintenance of agricultural machinery |
| CAPEX | Consists of the cost of machinery with an average range of 1.1M EGP Note: This CAPEX represents the indicative investment size, however, this investment opportunity can grow in implementation to a larger sized investments. |
| Investment Size | Small (between 500k-5M EGP) |
Considerations
| Key Challenge | Scale up production and produce high-quality equipment |
| Advantages | Product is in high demand and would replace imported alternatives as well as fill the gap of access to agricultural machinery within recycling businesses |
| Potential Pathways to Growth | Production, sales and/or distribution of a diverse portfolio of various types of machinery – local manufacturing of certain components to sell nationally/export – selling full solution rather than only the machinery (e.g., automation, operations and maintenance, spare parts etc.) |
General Impact
| Environmental | Reduces CO2 emissions by enhancing recycling businesses |
| Social | Cost-competitive products for agriculture and creates job opportunities |
