What South Cairo & Giza Mills & Bakeries does

South Cairo & Giza Mills & Bakeries Company (شركة مطاحن ومخابز جنوب القاهرة والجيزة) is an Egyptian public joint-stock company founded in 1965 and listed on the Egyptian Exchange since 1996 under ticker egx:SCFM.CA. The company operates an integrated wheat-to-flour-to-bread value chain through multiple mills, bakeries, storage silos, and a dedicated transportation fleet concentrated in the Cairo and Giza governorates. Its product portfolio comprises high-quality flour at 72% and 82% extraction rates (plus custom extractions and sorghum flour), subsidized baladi bread, and wheat bran by-products split between soft bran for human consumption and coarse bran for animal feed.

The company's go-to-market is dual-track: a B2G mandate under Egypt's Ministry of Supply to produce subsidized baladi bread distributed through official government outlets as part of the national wheat subsidy program, and a B2B channel selling flour directly to commercial bakeries and food manufacturers. SCFM is 51% owned by the Holding Company of Food Industries (a state-owned enterprise under the Ministry of Supply), 10% by the workers' union, and 39% by public shareholders; this structure was formalized by Presidential Decree No. 153/2014. The company holds ISO 9001 and ISO 9002 quality management certifications, and its pricing for subsidized products is administratively set by the state.

Financially, SCFM reported a turnaround from a net loss of EGP 19.16 million in FY2021/2022 to a net profit of EGP 92.1 million in the fiscal year ending June 2026, with a net profit margin of 19.44%, gross margin of 33.02%, and ROI of 393.28%. Quarterly revenue for Q4 FY ending June 2026 reached EGP 127.24 million, up from EGP 86.20 million in the prior quarter. The company has 6 million shares outstanding at a nominal value of EGP 5, with issued capital of EGP 30 million and authorized capital of EGP 75 million; its equity ratio is 39%.
