The complex sits on a total of 1,000 acres of agricultural farmland.
NESPO is a public-private partnership institution that enforces the vision of the political leadership of His Excellency Abdel Fatah el Sisi, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt.
According to Mohammed Shafie, CEO of Multi Dairy, the complex deals primarily with two specific fields’ animal protection and agriculture. It is the 2nd largest in Egypt, producing high-quality milk with high technology. It has 5,000 milking heads, aided by an automated milking and feeding system.
