Vodafone Business has announced its entry into Egypt’s agriculture sector, marking a significant expansion of its enterprise services into one of the country’s most critical economic areas. The move is aimed at supporting agricultural productivity, operational efficiency and long-term sustainability through technology-driven solutions.

The initiative is being implemented through a collaboration with Rakhaa For Agriculture Investments and focuses on delivering an end-to-end smart agriculture solution built on Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. The project integrates connectivity, sensors, automated irrigation systems and data-driven decision-making tools designed to operate effectively at scale.

According to Vodafone Business Executive Director Mahmoud ElKhateeb, the agriculture sector requires reliable infrastructure and innovative solutions to address challenges related to resource efficiency and sustainability. The new offering is intended to help reduce resource waste, improve crop productivity and support more sustainable farming practices across large agricultural operations.

The solution enables real-time monitoring and management of farming activities, allowing stakeholders to make informed decisions based on data collected from connected devices and sensors deployed in the field. Automated irrigation systems form a core part of the deployment, helping optimize water usage in a country where water efficiency is a strategic priority.

Vodafone Business acknowledged the role of its internal teams in developing and delivering the value proposition, emphasizing that the project reflects its broader commitment to applying digital technologies to solve real-world challenges across key sectors of the economy.
