An Australian consortium comprising 16 companies offered on Thursday to invest in the 13.1-billion-pound logistic hub for grains Egypt plans to set up in Dameitta.
The offer was made during Supply Minister Khaled Hanafi's meeting with chairman of the consortium Rafiq Najar and the executive director of the consortium.
Egypt's project involves building high-tech storage silos, two new platforms capable of receiving large cargoes in the Damietta marine port and five manufacturing areas.
