GM Agriculture
GM Agriculture (GMA) derives its name from its founder, Gamal Mostafa, as the business is truly the fruits of his labor. He has a mind for business and trading and a penchant for creating valuable partnerships. These values have contributed to his numerous achievements in the last 40 years in business.
GMA is a family-run business, with a mission to promote and preserve business connections with our clients by supplying them with products of the highest quality.
The company has three fully operational divisions
We grow the produce
We reap the harvest
We sort and pack
the end product
We deliver on our promise of premium quality products.
Our assortment of premium fruits and vegetables offer a range of products that keep our local, regional, and international business partners resourcefully roofed all year long.
Our supply chain network across Egypt bolsters our ability to deliver a diverse assortment of produce. The network also helps us meet the increasing local and global demand for agricultural produce.
Our tried-and-true Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) distinctly outline the particular processes for each task on our farms. Our processes include landscape management, soil preparation, planting, manuring, irrigation, weeding, integrated pest management, crop management, harvesting, and post-harvest handling.
The SOPs highlight our 5 essential operational aspects while performing each task: productivity, efficiency, health and safety, cost-effectiveness, and image.
By evolving our production methods and post-harvest processes to meet top industry standards, we ensure our ability to deliver our products to our customers consistently and efficiently.
Our farms are GLOBAL G.A.P certified, GRASP compliant, and verified by Sedex’s SMETA Ethical Audit. This is a testament to our commitment to quality and our unwavering determination to maintain our social responsibility as a reliable global source for ethically produced crops.
GMA Animal Production division is one of the largest calves fattening specialist farms in Egypt that conforms with international trade terms. We import the best calf breeds from Europe (Charolais, Angus, Limousine, Brown Swiss, Simmental) and South America (Colombian Brahman, Zebu, Nelore, Boran) into our fattening farms.
Averaging 275kg in weight per head, the calves arrive into our farms where the following services are professionally administered as part of the onboarding process:
Top-tier Veterinary Services
The new calves are quarantined once they land on the farms. A thorough diagnosis of foreign infectious diseases is done regularly while they are in quarantine. The check-up ensures our quality control is accurately fulfilled while meeting the international criteria for health and safety.
All our calves are ear-tagged with a unique number to accurately monitor their health. A status report on the bulls’ overall development cycle is recorded on a health status report on daily basis.
Nutrition
Our livestock is fed with quality fodder mixes to provide them with the essential nutrients needed for proper growth. A healthy diet for our livestock includes fiber, proteins, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins that provide the caloric needs of the growing calves. Their water troughs are always clean and flowing with desalinated water to complete their diet.
We nourish the cattle with a carefully designed blend of feed, created with the help of our in-house animal nutritionist and mixed on our farm to ensure accuracy. The cattle are routinely weighed throughout their stay on our farm to track their growth.
With the help of our veterinary team and our animal nutrition specialist, an independent veterinary consultant checks on the cattle regularly to ensure the efficiency of the process and the well-being of our calves.
Health & Safety
All our processes observe the highest standards of health and safety for both our animals and workers. We strictly enforce the best health and ethical practices in rearing our calves, which greatly influences meat quality.
Our cattle receive the best treatment while in our care. Their happiness is our happiness, and eventually our customer’s happiness as well. The result is premium, tender, juicy meat, that is free of any antibiotic residue.
We are currently working on establishing our very own abattoir to maintain the efficiency of our operations and to guarantee that our quality standards are maintained throughout their life cycle.
A commercial brand with a purpose representing an online “Farm to Home”
delivery platform of local, freshly produced, and made-to-order premium products.
Educational purpose
Our goal with root is to educate the public about the food production process. Through our social media pages on Facebook and Instagram, we share information on the agricultural cycle of our produce. This includes our growth process, and posts containing facts about the use of pesticides, the health benefits of each fruit and vegetable, and crop history.
Our educational efforts with root extend beyond our online platform. We actively organize tours of the farm where visitors are given the chance to explore the farm. Activities on the farm include touring the fields/farmstead, petting the animals, and picking their vegetables and fruits. These events serve to involve our visitors/customers with our process and allow them to actively engage with the important aspects of farming.
Our menu (updated weekly)
The menu includes herbs, vegetables, fruits, beef, and olive oil. We also supply homemade products such as pickles and jam assortments.
Geographic coverage
Currently, we are serving Alexandria, October 6th, and Cairo in Egypt.

GMA Core Values
Professionalism & Reliability
We know and do what is right for our practice and our customers.
Ethics
We put humanity first. Our practices preserve the quality of our farm produce.
Quality
We take care of our environment, staff, and stakeholders, meeting all health and safety standards in all our processes, resulting in products that are evidence of our commitment to quality.
This is a fundamental principle that determines our point of departure for all the activities at GMA – the relationships with our workforce, our management, our receivers, and the environment.
Taking care of our environment is at the forefront of all our operations.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle is a motto we live by. As such, we have a systematic approach toward increasing our water conservation while decreasing our energy consumption. We truly believe that minor changes can make a huge difference. After all, it’s a journey and we are working towards improving our impact as we grow.
OUR SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS PRACTICE
We strive towards optimally sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly practices.
Why Us
Our strengths in the workforce, health & safety, production processes, quality, and quantity maximization put us in an advantageous position to leverage the growing demand for quality agricultural produce. The market is both local and global, which translates to attractive revenues for shareholders.
We know that sustainable farming is the way to go, and as such, we are always looking for new techniques to maximize production. Currently, an incoming abattoir will facilitate in-house meat production and packaging.
We look forward to partnering with like-minded investors to take GMA to the full heights of its potential.
