Egypt’s cotton production is being neglected

Egypt’s cotton production is being neglected despite long-staple cotton being a highly valued commodity on an international level, Karim Abdel Salam writes in a column penned for Youm7. Abdel Salam takes note of the Welspun India scandal, which he says shows that international companies understand how valuable Egyptian cotton is, and wonders why the national mega projects being touted by the government don’t include plans to address Egypt’s agriculture.
