DALTEX deploys ORTH's AI platform across farming operations to improve yields and reduce losses

DALTEX, one of the world's largest fresh potato exporters, has deployed ORTH's artificial intelligence (AI) platform across its agricultural operations to improve crop yields, enhance product quality and reduce farming losses.

Announced in Cairo on November 9, 2026, the deployment will integrate farm records, crop histories and irrigation data into a single platform, enabling DALTEX's agronomists and field teams to access operational information and make faster, data-driven decisions.

Founded in 1964, DALTEX manages more than 54,000 acres and employs over 9,000 people. The company produces more than 500,000 tonnes of agricultural output annually and exports over 300,000 tonnes of potatoes to more than 75 countries.

Through ORTH's AI platform, agronomists and field supervisors can access specific recommendations on agricultural products, application doses and timing using natural-language queries. The system is designed to help agronomy teams manage larger farming areas, improve coordination among field crews and maintain consistent operational standards across farms.

Ibrahim Elnaggar, Director of Operations at DALTEX, said ORTH has helped production teams assess different inputs and make decisions more quickly. He described the platform as a digital copilot that supports faster communication and decision-making during demanding agricultural seasons.

The platform combines farm-level data with weather forecasts, satellite imagery and agronomic expertise to identify potential risks and generate proactive alerts. This allows farming teams to respond to emerging issues before they affect crop quality or lead to production losses.

ORTH supports growers across crop nutrition, crop protection, irrigation and quality management. According to the company, its platform is used by more than 300,000 growers worldwide, with over 73 per cent of surveyed users reporting improvements in yields, loss prevention and product quality.

For DALTEX, the deployment is expected to improve consistency across the agricultural supply chain, from cultivation to export. The company aims to achieve more reliable harvests, maintain export-grade quality and minimise losses between planting and shipment.

The adoption also highlights the growing role of AI in Egypt's agricultural sector, particularly in large-scale farming operations where technology can help improve resource management, operational efficiency and food security.

With ORTH integrated across its operations, DALTEX is positioning AI as a central component of its vertically integrated agricultural model.

ORTH is an artificial intelligence platform powered by Aydi Technologies.
