Chinese company brings 'new hope' to Egypt's animal farming

Mohamed Ramadan joined New Hope Egypt Co., Ltd. 10 years ago and he is now a deputy manager of the company's production department.

"When I first joined New Hope, I was a warehouse manager. Through receiving training and continuous learning at the company, I gradually mastered the advanced feed production technology and eventually became a member of the company's management in Egypt," he said, noting that the company has nearly 200 employees and more than 90 percent of them are Egyptians.

Asmaa Saeid, an Egyptian veterinarian, joined New Hope in 2018. She is a deputy manager of the company's technical service department and is responsible for providing technical support for customers and their farms.

"As a female vet, it was not easy to join the farming service team. When I started visiting poultry farms, many farmers were reluctant to let me in because they were worried that my service was not good enough, but in a short while I gained their trust," Asmaa said proudly.

"Now they feel free to call me and tell me any problems they have with feeding their chickens, and I appreciate New Hope for supporting me and giving me this opportunity," she told Xinhua.

Through New Hope, China has contributed to the development of Egypt's animal husbandry industry, which really represents a "new hope," she concluded.
