Abstract

This research explores innovative strategies to revitalise Egypt’s cotton value chain through sustainable agriculture, advanced technologies, and inclusive growth practices. By addressing challenges such as environmental degradation, outdated processing facilities, and socio-economic disparities, the project enhances market competitiveness and global sustainability alignment. Key initiatives include organic cotton cultivation, renewable energy integration, and targeted workforce development. Collaborative efforts with Italian stakeholders, such as the Cottonforlife programme, strengthen traceability, modernise infrastructure, and expand access to international markets. These actions foster job creation, environmental resilience, and economic growth, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
