Beyti Outlines EGP 8.7 Billion Investment Plan for Egypt Through 2027

Beyti, a subsidiary of Almarai, has invested more than EGP 7 billion in its Egyptian operations to date and announced a new investment plan worth EGP 8.7 billion for the 2025-2027 period. The company disclosed the figures during an event focused on sustainable manufacturing practices within the food and beverage sector.

The firm currently supports approximately 6,000 direct jobs and 19,000 indirect roles. According to company data, 67% of its raw and packaging materials are sourced locally, and the business exports products to more than 45 countries.

Sustainability and Infrastructure

During a session titled “From Ambition to Impact,” company leadership and government officials discussed national frameworks for sustainable development. Beyti General Manager Chris Abboud stated that the company’s “Doing Better Every Day” strategy prioritizes product safety, environmental protection, and human capital.

The company has implemented several initiatives to lower its environmental impact:

• Energy: In 2021, Beyti installed a 7.6-megawatt solar power plant, which currently provides 20% of its factory’s energy needs. The company aims to increase this to 30% by 2028.
• Emissions: A partial transition to natural gas, initiated in 2020, targets a 30% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
• Waste Management: Since 2022, the company has prevented about 290 tonnes of plastic waste annually and recycles 25,000 tonnes of secondary packaging cartons each year.

Beyti’s long-term sustainability vision for 2030 includes achieving zero waste sent to landfills and ensuring all packaging is recyclable. The company also targets a 25% reduction in its carbon footprint and a 20% improvement in resource efficiency.

Why it matters: These investments align with Egypt’s Vision 2030, which emphasizes private-sector participation in sustainable economic growth. By localizing supply chains and adopting renewable energy, the company’s manufacturing strategy reflects broader efforts to modernize Egypt’s industrial sector while addressing national environmental goals.
