A main mission of Silo Foods is producing meals for schoolchildren as that is included in the first phase. As for the second phase to be launched in April 2022, it will be about dairy products with a capacity of 4 factories.

President Sisi stated during the inauguration ceremony that the government is working on offering standard meals “presented in a nice way” to schoolchildren.

The President stressed the need to promote family planning in Egypt, a major challenge manifested in the increased population growth, thus resulting in many problems, including urban encroachment on agricultural lands.

Since 2011, the population has reached about 20 million; as a result, prices soared to meet people’s demand.

The President indicated that the aim of opening new factories is to provide products and achieve a balance in terms of prices during crises.
