Agriculture
Farm Frites Egypt was the first to introduce the concept of desert cultivation and soil reclamation. The company introduced new planting, harvesting, and post harvesting techniques coupled with machinery integration.
The business developed new varieties of potatoes, perfecting growing and harvesting methods. As a result, there are better quality potato crops that can compete with international products whilst sustaining a healthy environment. Our potatoes are 100% Egypt-grown, and we take pride in providing our customers with the best field-fresh products throughout the year to obtain the best product quality.
Our growers
Farm Frites believes in long-lasting relationships with our growers, founded on mutual respect, trust and a shared passion for producing the tastiest potatoes. Some of our farmers hail from agricultural families that we have worked with for over 25 years. We partner with over 750 potato growers. Together, we're committed not only to producing high-quality potatoes but also to sustainable farming practices that respect the earth.
