Egypt is one of the largest textile and apparel centers in the Middle East. The industry manufactures a variety of fabrics, garments, and knitted garments, bed linen and terry cloth products. Approximately 5,00,000 workers are employed in textiles and apparel -- a quarter of the total employment in manufacturing.

Taking labor costs into consideration, Egypt's textile and apparel products are not competitive when compared with China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Restrictions on imports have been sustained and some products have even been barred altogether. Aside from a few exceptions, imports of cotton fabrics and readymade textile products are prohibited.

Currently, there is a 150 per cent tariff on imports from the European Union. Although there are no quantitative restrictions on cotton yarn, the imported product is subject to a flat 30 per cent tariff, plus 10 per cent sales tax and a three per cent surcharge. The tariff charged on imported raw materials used in goods for exports is refunded to the importer through the drawback system.

High subsidies have led to wasteful use of extra long staple cotton. Egypt produces a variety of extra long, and medium-long staple cotton. While long staple production began to fall during the mid ’70s, the production of medium-long varieties increased.

Coloreel has won an award for innovation from the Skapa foundation. The Swedish company has developed a unique machine for digital thread coloring that will revolutionize the textile industry.

The innovation revolutionizes the technological possibilities for industrial embroidery; shortens production times and allows embroidery in the precise colors wanted. Also, for the first time, it is now possible to produce gradients in the embroidery. In September this year, Coloreel launched its first thread coloring unit. The patented base technology can also be used for sewing, knitting, weaving and more.

Today's thread dyeing plants can only color thread in a single solid color. With Coloreel technology, it is possible to get a fast and high-quality coloring of a textile thread while using the thread in production. The first product based on this technology is a ground-breaking thread coloring attachment that will be used in existing embroidery machines. By coloring a white thread during embroidery production, Coloreel offers complete freedom to create unique embroideries without any limitations in the use of colors. This technique not only contributes to increased efficiency, but also in an innovative way to the efficiency of the global textile industry, development and growth.

Arvind Mills will set up its first plant outside Gujarat in Kuppam in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. The green field integrated textile plant, will be set up with an investment of Rs 700 crore. It will have a capacity to manufacture 24 million garments per annum.

The textile plant will provide employment to 80 per cent of women with 9,300 direct employment. The plant will produce denim jeans and is likely to start production in February 2020. Chief Minister N Chandra Babu Naidu will lay the foundation for the plant on December 13, when he attends MSME conclave at Tirupati.
