Food products are a high value industry sector in Jordan that holds significant promise for growth. The Economic Modernization Vision 2033 identifies the sector as one of the largest manufacturing sub-sectors in Jordan, accounting for more than a quarter of manufacturing GDP and more than a sixth of manufacturing exports. Building on this foundation, Jordan’s Ministry of Investment - Jordan is pursuing further growth in the food sector by promoting Jordan’s strategic geographic position, robust trade agreements, and investor-centric policies. The USAID Economic Reform Activity is supporting the ministry to attract investment to the sector, assisting in building their capacity for investment promotion, identifying untapped investment opportunities, and engaging the private sector in public dialogues to identify ongoing sector challenges and opportunities. #USAIDERA #Jordan #Food #Investment #manufacturing

Mr. Akef El-Maghraby, CEO and Managing Director of the Suez Canal Bank, discussed the BRICS currency as well as its impact on the dollar and real estate prices. He highlighted that the new BRICS currency specifically targets investors from the member states of BRICS. He pointed out that there must be a suitable real estate product in Egypt to attract investments from BRICS countries. El-Maghraby explained that second homes in Egypt are attractive to investors/prospective buyers from Russia, yet most real estate exports currently target GCC countries. #roundtable #realestate #successfulrealestate #realestatemarket #realestatenews #TheVoiceOfRealEstate #InvestGate

OneOrder, an Egyptian tech-enabled supplier and distributor of supplies for the food and beverage industry, has raised $16 million in Series A funding to expand into the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, develop financing solutions for customers and improve its platform. Speaking about the value that OneOrder offers, founder and CEO Tamer Amer said, “Currently, restaurants and hotels must work with hundreds of suppliers to maintain stock, receiving 10 to 20 deliveries each day which disrupts operations without eliminating shortages. Previous attempts to solve the problem have simply digitised the issue, which any ERP can do. Instead, OneOrder takes a comprehensive approach to streamlining the entire supply chain, acting as a one-stop-shop by storing all the ingredients that restaurants might need in our strategically located warehouses.” Via Disrupt Africa. https://lnkd.in/eHmS5UEY #supplychain #funding #fundingnews #africa #tech #innovation #startups Karim Maurice.
