"P," Ladd said, "for this reason, the chaos of the cotton farmers sector has affected many other sectors, especially the cotton, textile and clothing sectors, including 34 state-run companies and 11000 Private Companies and institutions."

< p > cotton growers face severe challenges because cotton farmers lack interest in cultivating long staple (Advanced) cotton, and long staple cotton can be obtained worldwide. Meanwhile, cotton farmers are not interested in cultivating cotton varieties in Giza.
