Wadi Group enjoys the heritage and expertise of more than half a century in the agribusiness industry throughout the MENA region. Launched in Egypt in 1984 with a small scale poultry operation, today Wadi Group operates in 12 subsidiaries with ten brands over three distinct sectors: Dawagen, Sina'at and Mazareh.
The Dawagen Sector includes Group’s core business operation: large-scale poultry integrations, spanning from grandparents (GP) to parents ,to day-old-chick (DOCs) production, under the brand Katkoot el Wadi that produces layer DOCs, broiler PS DOCs and broiler DOCs with a consolidated market share in all sectors of 19%.
Also under Dawagen is Inmaa, the sole GP operator in Sudan, with 50% market share. Capitalizing on the achievements in both Egypt and Sudan, Wadi Group aspires to move down the Nile River to other African countries further developing the poultry sectors in Africa, with the vision of “Chickenizing Africa”.
The Sina'at Sector includes the industries that support Wadi Group’s core business. Using a unique backward integration model, Wadi Group began to produce poultry feed, feed additives and ingredients to serve their own business as well as the industry at large, in addition to launching a logistics arm for grain handling and logistics to serve their operations and the industry as a whole.
Under Sina'at, Wadi Group operates industries across the value chain including large scale poultry feed plants under the brand name A'laf Al Wadi, while also producing feed additives such as soya meal and mono-calcium phosphate through Idafat. The Group operates a logistics arm focusing on efficient and safe grain handling at the port of Alexandria, managing 2 million tons of grain a year through NSSC, as well as ground transportation with Tawseel. The cutting-edge industrial cooling cell pads manufactured by Tabreed, was another step in providing the poultry sector with an integrated solution for poultry breeding. The cell pads are used for poultry wards, greenhouses and other industrial uses. Specific to poultry, Tabreed helps provide poultry farmers with the best environment to maximize their flocks’ genetic potential for peak performance. Today, Tabreed has 70% market share in the Egyptian market and has expanded into operations in Turkey to serve the Turkish market and Caspian Sea basin countries. This is just one more success story for the Group, establishing a local brand with international standards.
Initially, Mazareh was developed to cultivate the land between Wadi Group’s poultry sites as required for biosecurity. Wadi Food’s olive groves became the first biosecurity line of defense since olives are a bitter crop that does not attract birds or insects that carry viruses. Today, they are one of the Group’s most important crops and produce internationally award-winning olive oils.
Under the Mazareh Sector, Wadi Group operates large-scale agriculture production under the brand name of Rula for Land Reclamation. Rula is the main supplier of Olives and fresh produce to its sister company Wadi Food that produces high quality processed olives, tomato paste and olive oil.
The synergy that Wadi Group has developed between their various sectors has been crucial to improving efficiency and ensuring sustainability. Wadi Group has turned the desert green, helped make poultry an affordable household staple, and has successfully integrated industry across the supply chain, while also playing an instrumental role in ensuring grain handling logistics are as safe and efficient as possible.
Wadi Group has continuously succeeded in bringing positive change to the businesses in which they operate. They deliver what they promise as a testimony to their slogan: “To achieve . To lead”.
