Alsharkeya Sugar Manufacturing (ASSM) aims to bridge the gap between supply and demand in the Egyptian market, which exceeds a million tons annually, in addition to exporting the surplus in the future. Established to address the expanding and unfulfilled demand for quality white sugar in Egypt and the MENA region, ASSM is a green field project, building Egypt’s first state-of-the-art sugar production facility in the governorate of Al Sharkiya, with a total investment cost of EGP 6 billion. Its main activities are the production of sugar from sugar beets and refining raw sugar into white sugar, byproducts of which (molasses and fodder) will also be sold in international markets.
