Exports of thin yarn, of 50 to 140 count, from Egypt to Turkey would especially get a boost, while exports of thicker yarn, with count less than 40, would have to face competition from India and Pakistan, where yarn prices are lower due to a recent dip in cotton prices in those countries, the Minister said.
