The development plan granted the locality alone 40 percent; As it represents about 40 percent of the textile industry, so development is one of its most important strategic gains, as it employs the largest possible number of workers.
He goes on to say: "The goal is production for the purpose of export and the sufficiency of the local market as well, in addition to paying attention to the training process for which huge sums have been allocated, and many workers are currently being trained to work on modern and advanced machines.".

problems
• According to the Egyptian parliamentarian; The most prominent problems facing this sector are summarized in the provision of yarn, and this is the move through which the ginnings were merged and developed, where ginning is done with modern mechanisms, which contribute to saving waste from cotton.
• A cotton stock exchange was launched again, to encourage the farmer to Cotton cultivationafter relying on short-staple and medium-staple cotton, which is not cultivated in the vast majority of the Egyptian land.
• Neglecting long-staple cotton, not cultivating it, and then turning to export; Therefore, the stock exchange will encourage the farmer to grow this type of cotton because he can sell his crop, but the problem of controlling the market remains an important concern.
• Worn-out machines and equipment from the last century, and during the presentation of the former minister to explain the work of the machines, it became clear that the current machines sense that the thread that is being spun will be cut, so they intervene automatically, the whole process is done completely automatically.
half development
But Bilal believes that what is happening now is half of the development. Especially since the state focused only on developing the public business sector, which represents 50 percent of this industry, while the striking force of spinning and ginning is the final product that gives the added value.
And he concludes: "The private sector is the largest actor in the garment manufacturing sector and others, so the state must complete the development process by modernizing it, and providing the appropriate environment for work, by reviewing the taxes imposed on it, and the facilities that must be granted to industrialists and not to businessmen, especially since the business sector is governed by about 20 Or 25 ministries or government agencies"He indicated that he is currently working on presenting a draft law to the Egyptian parliament. To establish the Supreme Commission for Spinning and Weaving to unify the state.
Doubling the productivity of the ginnery

Egypt began an ambitious plan to develop the cotton mills of the Holding Company for Spinning and Weaving in 2018, and it lasted for 30 months.
This was confirmed by the former head of the Egyptian Cotton Pressing Company, who explained that the cotton mills had developed a lot, stressing that the most prominent problems facing this important sector were the lack of experienced manpower.
Among the challenges facing the industry is also raising productivity levels. Hassan says that previously only 900 quintals could be shaved within 24 hours; While currently more than 5 tons of cotton can be ginned within one hour, describing it as "The large quantity".
In statements by the former Minister of the Business Sector, Hisham Tawfiq, he indicated that the modernization of old machines and equipment will increase the quantities of cotton used from 250 thousand quintals to one million quintals, which contributes to the production of hairy cotton free of impurities in line with the global reputation of Egyptian cotton.
