He further elaborated that Danone Egypt currently owns 9 production lines at Obour Factory, a farm in Nubaria, which is the third-largest farm in Egypt with an area of ​​154 acres, with more than 5,000 cows.

Furthermore, Sadek explained that the company has achieved a 25% growth in the volume of its business within two years, where the last year witnessed the best results for the company in the past 5 years, despite the many challenges facing the Egyptian and global markets as confronted by the repercussions of the pandemic and the inflation.
