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)

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.)

Environmental

Reduces CO2 emissions by enhancing recycling businesses

Social

Cost-competitive products for agriculture and creates job opportunities

Relevant sub-market

Technology/equipment manufacturing

Lies within the following
value chain/cluster(s)
