Ebrahim Elbaki's Company Details
The Sugar Crops Research Institute began in 1913 as the Sugarcane section in the Department of Agriculture. In 1971, it became the Sugar Crops division within the Field Crops Research Institute, and then in 1983, the Sugar Crops Research Institute joined with the other research institutes in the Agricultural Research Center (ARC).Research work with sugarcane began at Mallawy and Mattana farms in Upper Egypt, with yield testing of some imported varieties of sugarcane. Later, research was gradually expanded to sugarcane, sugar beet and sweet sorghum breeding - especially after successfully inducing the flowering of sugar crops under local conditions- and then to improving cultural practices, plant protection and physiological and biochemical studies. The institute conducts research in various aspects of sugar crops and is actively involved in transferring knowledge to farmers and investors, for the benefit of all Egyptians. SCRI, in cooperation with national and international organizations, is striving to close the gap between sugar productions and consumption in Egypt.
