Egypt food exports drive into Africa

Transmar, one of the leading Egyptian container shipping lines, will be part of the Food Africa Expo taking place in Cairo from 8-11 December 2018 at the Cairo International Convention & Exhibition Centre

The expo takes place at the start of the Egyptian citrus season and Transmar will be spearheading the export drive of lemons, limes, tangerines, grapefruits and especially oranges using containers from its home port of Adabiya ideally located on the Red Sea.

Transmar has a wide range of containers ranging from 20ft through 40ft and high cubes as part of its extensive export operations based in Adabiya. With an increasing demand and more exporters looking for temperature controlled container shipping, the company is also adding to its extensive reefer fleet over the next few months.

Mohamed El Ahwal, CEO of Transmar, said that the new reefer containers will add capacity and offer exporters even more choice when it comes to temperature controlled distribution.

“This is a very important time for the Egyptian economy which is showing increasing signs of recovery and growth. The start of the citrus season is always an important time for the country and we work with citrus growers and exporters to provide reliable, efficient and secure deliveries using our scheduled services from Adabiya into Saudi Arabia through the port of Jeddah along with services into the port of Sudan in East Africa.”

Transmar will be in Hall 4 Stand A57 and will have export and container experts on hand to answer questions and show why the company is the leading Egyptian container shipping line.
