Industries Covered
Egypt occupies a uniquely advantageous position for global food trade — bridging Africa, the Middle East, and European markets with competitive production costs and rich agricultural heritage.
Among the world's top exporters of citrus, potatoes, onions, grapes, and frozen vegetables — with year-round production across multiple climatic zones.
Lower production, labour and logistics costs translate directly to attractive landed prices for international buyers without sacrificing product quality.
Modern cold chain logistics, internationally compliant processing facilities, and direct maritime connections to major global ports.
Many Egyptian factories operate under BRC, GlobalGAP, ISO 22000, HACCP and FSSC 22000 certification — meeting the most demanding international standards.
Preferential trade agreements with the EU, Arab states, and COMESA zone reduce tariff burdens and simplify customs clearance for importers.
Hundreds of factories offer flexible MOQs and full private label capabilities — from formulation and packaging to labelling in multiple languages.
IGE acts exclusively as the buyer's representative — never as a supplier or trading company. Our sole mandate is to protect your interests and ensure what you buy is exactly what you receive.
We have no commercial relationship with any factory or supplier. Every audit, inspection and report is 100% unbiased and conducted solely in your interest.
Our team is physically based in Egypt. We visit factories in person, observe production first-hand, and provide photographic evidence — not just paperwork.
Every engagement produces a professional written report with findings, photographs, non-conformities, risk assessment, and a clear Approved / Rejected decision.
We work for you, not the seller. Our fee structure is transparent and agreed upfront. We identify problems that protect your business — even if it costs you a deal.
Reports delivered within 48 hours of site visit. Urgent pre-shipment inspections accommodated with 24-hour report delivery upon request.
All audits follow internationally recognised frameworks — ISO 9001, HACCP, BRC, FSSC 22000, and SMETA — using standardised checklists and scoring methodologies.
End-to-end sourcing and quality assurance services — from initial supplier discovery through to container sealing and shipment departure.
