Ofuk Trading begins in Cairo
One office and two books: food and industrial products — the two lines that still carry the company's name.

Who we are
We started with two books. We still work them.
Goods to specification, and a shipment on the day. The rest is detail.
Food and industrial products: the two lines the company's name has carried since 2004, and the agriculture, investment and construction that grew out of them.
A holding company does not run its companies for them. Each company in Ofuq runs its own business and answers for its own results, with its own board and its own decisions. What the holding provides is what no single company can provide for itself: a balance sheet that can absorb a thin season, one standard of quality, and banking relationships that open a credit when the book needs one.
What we trade
Two books, one desk
The food we buy from growers and mills, and the industrial inputs we supply to factories.

What we do
Four jobs before anything else
01
Sourcing and contracting
We know who grows what, and when it comes off the field.
02
Inspection and conformity
Every shipment is checked before it leaves, not after it lands.
03
Shipping and clearance
Port to warehouse, with one party answering for it.
04
Trade finance
Payment terms that survive a whole season.
Our journey
From one office to a group
2008
The first export shipment
A move from importing alone to selling outside Egypt, and the beginning of the Gulf relationship.
2012
Into agriculture
Owning the first link in the chain rather than buying from it: land, livestock, and production whose conditions we know.
2016
The operations desk at Alexandria
Inspection, clearance and inland haulage under one responsibility, a short walk from the discharge berth.
2020
The season that proved the point
Global supply disruption made a direct relationship with the producer a real difference rather than a claim on paper.
2024
Ofuq Holding
The four companies are brought under a single holding, with each one still answering for its own results.

Why we inspect at loading, not on arrival
A quality dispute after the cargo lands is expensive for both sides. An independent survey at loading is the cheapest insurance in trade.
