Established in 1974, PICO Modern Agriculture Company was founded by the visionary, Dr. Kamel Tawfik Diab. A pioneer who explored varieties that were non-existent locally but in demand in the most premium markets globally. Dr. Kamel lead the first ever cultivation of arid desert land. He also lead PICO to become the first company to establish tissue culture labs in Egypt and to connect with global breeders.
PICO began its innovations by boosting the Egyptian citrus industry then to continue this legacy; the company introduced superior seedless grapes from California. Today this variety compromises 75% of Egypt’s grape export. To increase the country’s export growth opportunities, strawberry nurseries were created for the first time, which transformed their cultivation.
