Gamea has took part in the virtual second-annual celebration of World Cotton
Day today, organized by Cotton, Spinning, Weaving & Garments Holding and
Cotton Egypt Association.
Held under the auspices of the
Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Ministry of the Public Business Sector, the

cotton product, through conducting reviews on companies authorized to use the brand.
