Sisi inaugurates 2nd stage of Silo Foods Industries City

The announcement was made during the opening ceremony of the second stage of the Silo Foods Industries city in Sadat City in Menoufiya governorate, which was attended by President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi on Thursday.

Silo Foods, an affiliate of the National Service Projects Organisation (NSPO) of the Armed Forces, is the first food industries city in the Middle East.

The first stage of Silo Foods was inaugurated by President El-Sisi in August 2021 with a goal of providing school meals for 13 million students nationwide.

The second stage, which aims to develop the school nutrition system, includes establishing a factory for dairy, biscuits, halva, and tahina products in addition to a printing complex and a central lab to secure people's needs in the local market and export products abroad to secure hard currency.

The event was attended by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, Minister of Defence Mohamed Zaki, and a number of ministers and top officials.

Speaking during the event, El-Sisi asserted that the NSPO abides by fair competition rules with its companies paying all state dues, including water and electricity bills as well as taxes.
