The Sultan Farm is located at 52 km from Cairo, along the desert road to Alexandria. It has a cultivable area of around 1000 Hectar , all desert land.
The farm is located inside the western desert, quite far from any source of pollution. The nearest road with asphalt is at about 5 kilometres from the farm.

The conversion to organic agriculture started on 1996, on the total farm area, in compliance with the European Regulation 2092/91 and following the IFOAM recommendations. Our Certification Body conforms to the EN ISO 45011 rule.

The crops: 

Fields are cultivated according to a wide crop rotation. Emphasis is put on alternating leguminous crops, both cash and green manuring crops, with non-leguminous crops, in order to get the greatest benefits from rotating different species in the same field, and to maximise nitrogen fixation too.

All the farm land, including greenhouses, is efficiently irrigated by a drip system; water is pumped from five deep wells and distributed to each field. The wide crop rotation arranged, the dense ecological infrastructure made up by the fence of Casuarina trees - together with the isolated conditions of the farm - result in a very low occurrence of pest and diseases.

In Sultan Farm, all the basic facilities to carry out post-harvest operations are present. State-of-the-art cold stores, protected sorting and packing areas, equipment and logistics are arranged in such a way as to ensure freshness and a prolonged shelf-life of the produce after transporting overseas. 

Packing tipologies and materials are chosen according to the client requirements.
