Gamal and Ibrahim help connect suppliers with traders and farms through their agri-tech venture, Cropsa. The company has facilitated the process of buying and selling wholesale agricultural raw materials and animal farm inputs for 150,000 farmers. Gamal participated in practical research to develop technology for extracting active ingredients used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and organic food industries from medicinal and aromatic plants rather than exporting them as raw materials. This technology simplifies and accelerates the extraction process while lowering costs.
