Through this partnership, Ninjacart strives to drive non-linear growth in the Egyptian agri sector, prioritising innovation, sustainability and efficiency. Ninjacart’s distinguished NinjaVentures initiative is a global endeavour dedicated to extending its technological expertise, knowledge and skills to emerging start-ups in various countries aiming to revolutionise agricultural supply chains.
