The EBRD is providing a leading Egyptian dairy and juice producer, the International Company for Agricultural Industries Projects, S.A.E (Beyti), with a loan in the amount of up to US$ 44 million (or the equivalent in Egyptian pounds).
The EBRD funding will enable the company to refinance existing short-term loans with a longer tenor loan more suitable for its investment and development phase. The loan will also fund new investments to expand the company’s production and logistical capacities.
