Overview
AgriKemet is an Egyptian agri-tech startup founded by Nourhan Massoud that turns agricultural waste into alternatives to chemical fertilisers. It tackles two problems at once: the huge volume of crop residue that is burned or dumped every season, and farmers' heavy reliance on costly chemical inputs. Massoud presents the idea as an answer to a global waste problem, and on Shark Tank Egypt's second season it won offers from every shark in the tank. Mohamed Farouk later called it "one of the best companies we invested in".
