Who we are
An Egyptian agricultural producer and international exporter, built on direct farm ownership, structured export discipline, and long-term buyer relationships.
Sweedko Foods is an Egyptian agricultural producer and international exporter, founded through a partnership of Egyptian investors with deep expertise in farming and trade. We grow and source strawberries, red onions, olives and grapes in Egypt, and we manage every shipment as a structured export project, with full transparency, traceability, and commercial reliability.
Our model combines direct farm ownership with structured export operations, giving international buyers a single, accountable partner from the field to the freight. We do not simply ship products, we run each container as its own project, with quality control, cold-chain integrity, and documentation handled end-to-end.
We supply international importers, distributors, wholesalers, and retail chains operating to GlobalG.A.P. and BRC Global Standard requirements.
Our Mission
Authentic Egyptian quality, delivered with operational discipline.
To deliver authentic Egyptian agricultural and food products with real quality, operational reliability, and long-term commercial value, serving international buyers who need a partner they can build on.
Our Vision
Egypt's first-choice agricultural export partner.
To become a leading symbol of Egyptian capability in delivering high-quality food products, at scale, and with consistent reliability to the world's most demanding markets. We aim to expand our operations and product portfolio to become the first-choice, one-stop destination for global importers sourcing food products from Egypt.
How we operate
Two complementary pillars, the reliability of own-farm control, the flexibility of a certified sourcing network.
Buyers get direct accountability for what we grow ourselves, and audited partner capacity where it adds reach. One commercial relationship, two production engines.
Pillar 1. Own Farm Operations
We own and operate farms in Egypt. We also source our products directly from here. This gives us direct control over planting schedules, harvest timing, quality grading, and volume planning.
- Direct quality control at source
- Consistent seasonal supply
- Transparent traceability
Pillar 2. Certified Sourcing Network
For seasonal peaks and additional capacity, we source through a vetted network of GlobalG.A.P. partner farms and BRC-certified processing plants.
- GAP-certified partner farms
- BRC-certified processing plants
- We manage QC and export end-to-end
