“With evidence of textile industry emerging in Ancient Egypt since 5500 BC; Egyptian textile industry has been geared to be a major supplier of primary textile materials to the garment, home textiles manufacturers and many other applications nationally and worldwide.
Unlike many other cotton-producing countries, Egypt exclusively produces Gossypium Barbadense, a type of extra fine cotton that generally has a longer and finer staple. The textile industry has advanced and developed over time until it reached what it is in the modern era”.
