Our Mission
To meet our local and international customers needs through innovative agricultural techniques that allow us to consistently deliver our citric goods in accordance with the highest international standards.
Our History
Since the 1950s Condor Investment shareholders have been involved in agricultural development of citric farms dispersed across the Nile Delta. Our success allowed us to gradually expand the business into a corporate structured model.
Condor Investment is part of Condor Group which has been in business in Egypt since 1974 with a solid track record in business development and commercial representation for French and multinational firms operating in Egypt such as Alstom, Alcatel, Areva GE Converteam, Thales and transport giants like Bombardier.
The success of our infrastructure and industrial projects has boosted our strong ties with Europe - Egypts # 1 export market.
Our Vision
We aim to acquire and develop the biggest citric agricultural land bank in Egypt and to become one of the leading producers and exporters of citric products in Egypt and the region.
Condor Investment is in the process of acquiring key agricultural certifications such as Globalgap, HACCP and
The firm began with a land bank of about 120 acres in 1992. Today our land bank extends to more than 1,250 acres divided across three farms – all fed from fresh Nile water – two of which are located by the Ismailia canal in northeastern Egypt while the third is on a piece of virgin reclaimed land in Sinai (East Suez) known to be among the best-suited in Egypt for growth of citric products.
We have also long kept an eye on EU/GCC markets, in which we see the potential to fill rising demand for fresh and processed Egyptian produce.
Why Citric ?
We have adopted single crop specialization in citric produce to perfect the quality of our output, aiming to become one of the top names in the packaging, marketing and logistics of citruses. Many factors have driven our choice of the citric industry, including:
• Egypts favorable weather conditions
• Geographic location at the African/Asian cross borders with close proximity to Southern Europe, Russia and the GCC market(s)
• Limited price fluctuations and long shelf life of citrus produce
• Egypt remains one of the few safe citrus growing destinations in the world unlike Spain, Florida andother places recently affected by diseases, unfavorable weather conditions and natural disasters
• Egypts known reputation for excellent taste of citrus products, which coupled with its geographical location present excellent marketing tools for us
