Everything About Admiral Agro — Answered

Admiral Agro (full trade name: Admiral Agro Import & Export) is an Egyptian agricultural commodities exporter based in New Damietta, Damietta Governorate, Egypt. The company specialises in pulses, legumes, seeds and grains for B2B buyers worldwide. It has operated since 1947, drawing on four generations of family trading heritage in the Damietta region.

Address: Industrial Zone, New Damietta, Damietta 34518, Egypt. The processing facility is in the New Damietta Industrial Zone, approximately 30 km from Damietta Port — Egypt's dedicated dry-cargo export gateway. Google Maps: search "Admiral Agro New Damietta".

The company's trading heritage dates to 1947, making it a four-generation family business. In-house pulse splitting and dehulling operations were established in 2001, enabling direct processing rather than outsourcing.

Admiral Agro is a direct processor and exporter. It owns and operates a 15,000 m² processing and cold-storage facility where it cleans, optically sorts, splits, packs and cold-stores pulses in-house before export. This is not a brokerage or intermediary operation — the company has its own physical plant and packing lines. For certain imported-origin products (basmati rice for the Egyptian local market; red lentils in off-crop seasons), the company acts as a distributor.

The integrated facility covers 15,000 m² across two adjacent sites in the New Damietta Industrial Zone. It includes:

• 14 raw-material silos for bulk storage

• 40+ cold rooms for controlled-atmosphere storage

• Optical color sorting machines

• Automated 25 kg and 50 kg packing lines

• In-house splitting and dehulling lines (since 2001)

• Dedicated container-loading infrastructure

• 30 km from Damietta Port for efficient export logistics

Admiral Agro's export team communicates in English, Arabic and French. The website (admiralagro.com) is fully available in all three languages.
