Ghalyoun Fish Farming City
A National Milestone in Aquaculture
In partnership with the National Company for Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and China’s Evergreen Company, USAFETECH contributed to the development of Ghalyoun Fish Farming City—one of the largest aquaculture projects in Egypt, the Middle East, and Africa.
Strategically located in Kafr El-Sheikh, the project spans 13,000 acres across two phases:
– Phase One (4,000 acres) includes over 1,300 ponds for fish and shrimp, hatcheries, nurseries, and advanced water management systems, with a production capacity exceeding 8,000 tons annually.
– Phase Two (9,000 acres) expands operations with a fish meal factory, bag production plant, and a water treatment station, enhancing value-added processing and sustainability.
This landmark project plays a vital role in closing Egypt’s fish production gap, supporting food security, boosting exports, and positioning Egypt as a regional leader in aquaculture.
