The plan balances scale, reach, and export growth. It also reflects confidence in regional demand for packaged food. Investment Split Shows Clear Priorities Edita continues to treat Egypt as its core market. Sixty percent of the 2026 investment will remain local. The goal is simple. Increase capacity and improve efficiency. Local investment will focus on: Developing half of the remaining land at the Polaris Industrial Zone site Expanding the factory in 6th of October City Equipping a recently acquired production facility Supporting higher output across core product lines These moves will help Edita meet rising domestic demand. They also strengthen its supply base for exports. Iraq Expansion Targets Production Growth Edita sees Iraq as a high potential market. The company recently acquired a factory there. It now plans to add a new production line. Key plans for Iraq include: Installing a modern production line Preparing the site for operations by end of 2026 Serving local demand more efficiently Reducing reliance on imports This expansion will give Edita a stronger foothold in a fast growing market. Local production also improves pricing and distribution speed. Morocco Offers Regional Export Access Morocco plays a different role in Edita’s strategy. The country offers access to North and West African markets. Edita is studying options to add new production lines there. The Morocco plan focuses on: Serving local consumers Supporting regional exports Improving supply chain flexibility Expanding brand presence beyond Egypt By producing closer to key markets, Edita can reduce costs and increase competitiveness. Regional Strategy Supports Export Growth Edita’s leadership continues to scan opportunities across Egypt and the wider MENA region. The company wants to grow exports without weakening its domestic base. CEO and Managing Director Hany Barzy stressed that Egypt remains the priority. At the same time, overseas facilities will support export growth to nearby markets. This balanced approach allows Edita to: Protect its market leadership in Egypt Diversify revenue sources Reduce regional risk exposure Capture cross border demand Strengthening a Regional Food Champion Edita’s investment plan reflects discipline and long term vision. The company expands where demand justifies scale. It invests where logistics and access matter most. With new capacity in Egypt, Iraq, and Morocco, Edita positions itself as a stronger regional food producer. The strategy supports jobs, exports, and sustainable growth. The coming years will likely see Edita deepen its presence across MENA. The company now builds the foundation to lead that expansion.
