Will I see supplier names upfront?

No. Supplier identities are confidential until both sides agree to engage. This protects pricing, margins and your sourcing strategy.

How fast do I get quotes?

Typical response is 48–72 hours with 2–4 matched, project-matched suppliers for Egypt.

Do you cover small farms in Egypt?

Yes. We handle single-pond expansions through 5,000+ ton commercial projects across Kafr El Sheikh, Damietta, Port Said, Fayoum, Beheira.

Which regions in Egypt are the main production hubs for this equipment?

Most demand comes from Kafr El Sheikh, Damietta, Port Said, Fayoum, Beheira. We match suppliers who already ship, install and support systems in those areas, so lead times and spare-part logistics are realistic rather than theoretical.

Which species do buyers in Egypt usually stock?

Projects in Egypt typically run Nile tilapia, mullet & L. vannamei. Species drives aeration load, water exchange, feed strategy and harvest handling, so tell us the species in your brief and quotes come back sized correctly.

How is equipment shipped into Egypt?

Consignments normally clear through Alexandria, Damietta, Port Said. Quotes can be issued FOB, CIF or DAP so you can compare landed cost, duties and inland transport on the same basis.

Can you size a farm in Egypt before we buy equipment?

Yes. Use the free pond volume, stocking density and shrimp farm cost calculators to fix pond area, biomass and budget first, then send the outputs with your quote request so suppliers price the same specification.

What are typical lead times for shrimp farming equipment delivered to Egypt?

Stocked items such as paddlewheel aerators, blowers, pumps, feeders and liners are usually 2–4 weeks ex-works plus 3–6 weeks ocean transit to Alexandria, Damietta, Port Said. Built-to-order RAS skids, drum filters, oxygen generators and processing lines run 8–16 weeks in production. Add 1–3 weeks for customs clearance and inland delivery to Kafr El Sheikh, Damietta, Port Said, Fayoum, Beheira.

How do I size vacuum and pumping equipment for a Egypt shrimp farm?

Sizing starts from pond volume and target biomass: fix total water volume, then set exchange or recirculation rate, harvest flow and solids load. Vacuum harvest pumps are specified by flow (m³/h), suction lift, hose diameter and solids handling, while aeration is sized in kW per hectare against peak biomass. Run the harvest vacuum, pond volume and stocking density calculators first so every supplier quotes the same duty point.

What documentation is required to import shrimp farming equipment into Egypt?

Standard import packs include the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, certificate of origin, HS classification and, where applicable, an import permit or licence. Machinery normally needs CE or equivalent conformity declarations, electrical ratings matched to local voltage and frequency, plus manuals and spare-part lists. Live animals, feed and biologicals require separate veterinary or sanitary certificates from the competent authority in Egypt.

What export documentation do shrimp producers in Egypt need for finished product?

Export consignments through Alexandria, Damietta, Port Said typically require a health or sanitary certificate from the competent authority, farm registration details, HACCP and traceability records, certificate of origin and, for the EU/US/Japan, buyer-specific residue and antibiotic testing. Plan the cold-chain and processing specification around those requirements so the line is compliant from day one.

Who handles shipping, duties and installation into Egypt?

Quotes can be issued FOB, CIF or DAP Alexandria, Damietta, Port Said. FOB leaves freight, insurance, duties and inland transport with you; CIF covers sea freight and insurance; DAP delivers to site. Duties and VAT remain the importer's responsibility. Installation and commissioning are quoted separately as supervision-only or full turnkey, and we flag which suppliers already have service coverage in Kafr El Sheikh, Damietta, Port Said, Fayoum, Beheira.

Size your harvest vacuum before you request quotes

Shrimp Harvest Vacuum & Pump Sizing

Shrimp harvest vacuum (fish pump) systems are specified by live product throughput, the water carried with the product, hose diameter, lift height and the vacuum level the pump must hold without damaging the animals. Size the duty here, then request comparable quotes on the same spec.

Biomass per pond / harvest batch(kg)

Target harvest window(hours)

Shorter windows raise pump size and cooling/ice demand.

Water : product ratio(m³ water per t)

2–4 typical for vannamei; gentler handling needs more water.

Lift height (pond to grader)(m)

Horizontal hose run(m)

Design hose velocity(m/s)

1.5–2.0 m/s keeps shrimp intact; above 2.5 m/s raises damage.
