In 2020, Mohamed Mansour, a tilapia farmer from Sharqia Governorate, was facing challenges on his 40-acre farm. He was experiencing a too-high feed conversion ratio, and could only get a single production round per year.
Empowering Egyptian farmers for growth and success
With the help of Skretting Egypt’s Sales Manager Hassan Ali, Mr. Mansour decided to switch over to using Skretting Egypt’s tilapia fish feed. This product is known fondly as the 'mango sack', as its vibrant orange colour is similar to the flesh of the local Egyptian mangoes. Soon, his FCR improved by 40% to 1.2.
Under the guidance of Hassan Ali and the Skretting Egypt team, Mr Mansour gradually expanded his farm. By 2024, his farm had reached up to 200 acres, achieving two production rounds annually. His farm was able to achieve maximum efficiency in production, which also enhanced his way of life.

Mr Mansour is one of the many farmers who has benefited from the open communication that Skretting Egypt has with its customers. By really understanding the farmers’ issues, Skretting Egypt enables them to have maximum performance and healthy fish at the most affordable cost. It also has a positive sustainability impact as this helps ensure that waste in feed is kept to a bare minimum.
