Agricultural investment is considered one of the most important types of investment currently, especially after the global challenges posed by world wars and economic crises, which have led to a decrease in currency purchasing power and economic inflation. Therefore, owning a farm is the optimal solution for investment and achieving guaranteed returns. The return on investment can be divided into:

Fixed Asset: Owning a farm within the Gora Valley project is the first step in protecting the value of your money against inflation. The value of the farm increases by 25% annually due to its strategic location on the Cairo – Cape Town road, which the government is continuously developing due to its importance in attracting all types of investment. The area also hosts major national projects, including the high-speed electric train, residential, agricultural projects, and factories.

Annual Return from Barhi Date Palms: The Barhi date palm produces one of the finest and most expensive types of dates. Each palm yields between 250 to 350 kilograms annually, and the price per kilogram in the Egyptian market is between 50 to 60 EGP. Additionally, the palms produce offshoots at a rate of 2 to 5 offshoots per tree annually, with offshoot prices ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 EGP each.

Each acre of land in the Gora Valley project is planted with 55 Barhi palms. Assuming the lowest production estimates and the lowest sale prices from the farm (30 EGP per kilogram):

• Profit from dates per acre:
  55 palms × 250 kg × 30 EGP = 412,500 EGP
• Profit from offshoots per acre:
  2 offshoots × 55 palms × 1,500 EGP = 165,000 EGP
• Total profit from one acre:
  412,500 EGP + 165,000 EGP = 557,500 EGP

Quick Return: The spaces between the date palms are utilized for growing seasonal crops. Four lines of ground crops are planted to accommodate the largest number of vegetable seedlings, with the type of seedling determined by the agricultural season, such as onions, tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, and eggplants. Each season consists of two planting cycles every 6 months. The minimum profit per cycle ranges from 20,000 to 25,000 EGP
