The "Société Foncière du Domaine de Cheikh Fadl" was established on March 21, 1905, by decree of the Khedive of Egypt, with the goal of developing and managing the vast land holdings located in the Cheikh Fadl region, a particularly fertile agricultural area. The company specialized in the cultivation of sugarcane, one of Egypt's main crops at the time, and related agricultural activities. The management of these lands required significant investments in irrigation infrastructure and modernization of farming techniques, essential for increasing productivity and ensuring sustainable yields.
The certificate shown in the image represents a single bearer share, issued on February 24, 1938, with a nominal value of 4 Egyptian Pounds per share. This document is an example of the financial instruments used to fund the company's expansion and modernization efforts.
Historical Context:
The issuance of this certificate took place during a period of economic and political transition in Egypt. In the early 20th century, the country was under British influence, and agriculture was one of the main sources of income, particularly through the export of products such as cotton and sugarcane. The "Société Foncière du Domaine de Cheikh Fadl" operated in a context of growing global demand for sugar and other agricultural products, and the Egyptian agricultural sector was undergoing a phase of modernization to meet these needs.
