PUA’s Faculty of Financial and Administrative Sciences organized a field trip for students of the Operations Management course to the Nubaria Agricultural Development Co. (Ragab Farms).

This trip aimed to demonstrate the orange export production lines, hence linking the administrative theory with the practical applications. Further, the trip was supervised by Prof. Jilan Abdel Aziz, assistant lecturer, and T. A. Abdel Rahman Abu Bakr. The students were greeted by Prof. Mohamed Mousa, Company’s general manager, and Eng. Nihad Ali, Export Manager, who demonstrated to the students the different stages of orange export, which include harvesting, transport, washing, disinfection, sorting, sizing, packaging, and refrigeration.

It is worth noting that Egypt has become the world’s leading citrus exporter to various markets, for the third year in a row, with exports exceeding 1.6 million tons
