Egyptian Cotton
Egyptian cotton enjoys a global reputation due to its exceptional quality. He continued: We plan to double exports, so that there is an economic return for the state and a suitable return for the Egyptian farmer, and there is sustainability.
Egyptian cotton is at the top of the world's cotton quality, saying: "We are number one in terms of the highest quality, and number two in production for the simple reason that the cultivated area has decreased. Cotton is grown worldwide as either short staple or long staple. As for long staple, it is about 500 thousand tons, and Egypt grows about 20% of them. Egypt produces two types of cotton, either long staple or what is called premium long staple cotton. There is no country in the world that produces premium long staple cotton.
We share with the world only in long staple cotton, and Egypt is number 2 in production but number one in quality, and India is number one as it produces 25% of the world’s cotton production, and China is number 2 producing 25%, then the United States, when we produced 13 million we had a problem in manufacturing them, and Egypt throughout its history produces cotton it does not manufacture and manufactures cotton it does not produce, and we had quality cotton but we could not market it, and at the present time there is a state plan to advance the cultivation and production of Egyptian cotton and in one year we planted 125 thousand acres of cotton.
