The Egyptian ministry of industry and trade will launch a second textile city in Badr, located to the north east in the Cairo governorate, on an area covering 1 million square metres, according to industry minister Tarek Kabil. The city includes 198 plots to accommodate textile, garment and dyeing units. A public draw on the plots will be held on October 11.
The Industrial Development Authority (IDA) will also launch an industrial cluster for textile industries in Badr before the end of this year to meet the needs of small investors, an Egyptian newspaper reported quoted Kabil as saying. (DS)
