Sama Grain company, operating in the field of exporting agriculture crops, is intending to establish a factory of juice concentrates and to operate the line of packaging citrus fruits to export them to east Asia and Russia. The company exports many agriculture crops, including pomegranates, citrus fruits, and grapes to Russia, China, Singapore, and Malaysia, in addition to Europe (Germany, Holland, and Poland). Hassan noted that the Egyptian agriculture product is suffering from the lack of a supervisory entity to guarantee that all products are of high quality. Hassan said that the Russian market is the market consuming most of the Egyptian agriculture products and crops; however, Russia also delays the payments of the financial dues. The Russian market obtained approximately 20% of the size of the Egyptian citrus fruits exports during the 2013-2014 season, valued at 230,000 tonnes of oranges, mandarins, lemon, and grapefruit.
