A strong return for Egyptian white gold is expected soon in the global market as the Ministry of Agriculture is seeking to increase the productivity of cotton, in the wake of a striking decrease seen in Egypt’s cotton industry in 2016, particularly in the export market
After a catastrophic year for Egypt’s cotton industry in 2016, a demand for the Egyptian white gold has emerged in the global market. Unlike in recent years, despite the increase in production, Egyptian cotton exporters have declared that the produced quantities are considered insufficient for the high foreign demand
The Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture has taken measures to support the national cotton sector by improving and increasing the productivity of long-staple and medium-length cotton, according to local media reports. The ministry also seeks to increase the areas used for cotton cultivation to reach 216,000 feddans with the aim to provide large quantities for the increasing demand from foreign countries
