Egypt unveils plan to boost flax industry
Linen crops are among Egypt's ancient products that have been used in the textile industry since the days of the Pharaohs. Currently, they are cultivated on an area of up to 50,000 acres annually in Egypt. One feddan (an Egyptian unit of land measurement) yields half a ton of seeds and half a ton of fibers. Egypt exports 80% of its production, making it the third-largest exporter of raw linen in the world, accounting for 6% of global trade. The government supports a strategy to maximize added value by transforming agricultural materials into domestic industries, as part of ongoing efforts since 2014.
