Egypt's cotton exports up 22% this export season

Egypt’s cotton exports grew 22% this export season over last year’s, said the head of the Cotton Exporters Association Nabil El Sentarisi. 38,800 tonnes of cotton were exported, up from 32,000 tonnes last season, he tells Al Borsa. Cotton export season usually ends in August, but that was extended to 15 September to clear backlogged or delayed inventory, said El Sentarisi. 712k qintars were shipped to customers abroad out of 766k contracted.
