About ElBishbishy

A Century of Agricultural Excellence

A Family Legacy
Built on the Land

ElBishbishy is a proudly Egyptian, family-owned agribusiness with more than 100 years of farming heritage. What began as a traditional family farm has evolved into one of Egypt's most reputable and reliable growers, packers, and exporters of premium fresh produce.

With over 30 years of export experience, we supply international markets with safe, high-quality, and fully traceable products. Our vertically integrated model — from our own farms to state-of-the-art packing facilities and a dedicated export operation — ensures complete control over quality, consistency, and compliance with global food-safety standards.

At ElBishbishy, we do not only grow crops — we cultivate trust, long-term partnerships, and value across global markets.

100+

Years on the land

The family has farmed in Tanta, in the heart of Egypt's Nile Delta, for more than a century — the same land we work today.

30+

Years exporting

Generations of growing became an export business, shipping Egyptian produce to international buyers.

Today

Grower, packer, exporter

Two farms, our own packing complex, 24 products, and five market regions — every step under one family's control.

"Customer confidence is the foundation of success — built on quality, transparency, and reliability."

Our Story in Pictures

Photographs kept by the family across four generations — the machinery that changed how we farmed, the recognition that followed, and the name we still trade under.

The first tractor

Machinery arrives on the family land, and with it the scale and precision that would later make export possible.

From farm to company

Traditional farming became a trading operation — the first step toward the grower, packer and exporter ElBishbishy is today.
