Brazil increases import of Egyptian cotton thread, raw material for sophisticated thread and sheets
In the first seven months of this year, the import volume (411 tonnes) rose 39.4% in contrast to the same period last year. The cotton, long and extra-long fibre, comes from Egypt to supply Brazilian producers of nobler and more expensive textile products. The Arab country produced around 289,700 tonnes of cotton last year and exported 61% of the total.
