According to the latest figures, the population of the Arab Republic of Egypt reached more than 96 million. The country is a large consumer of paper, and the Egyptian paper industry became an imposing industry, and in the land of Pharaohs, they call this industry the “White Gold”.
The industrialists and capitalists believe it’s vital to invest in the paper, printing and packaging industries in order to keep pace with the development and growth of the local population, also to meet with their basic needs and expectations.
However, although this industry is an impressive industry, the large part of fulfilling the demand on paper is dependent on abroad and on imported goods from neighboring or distant exporting countries.
But Egypt is trying to keep pace with the development of this sector through the implication of more businessmen and experts in the paper sector. Therefore, it has recently developed a partnership between the local government
on one hand, and the private sector on the other that is giving a positive effect on the market.
Experts believe that it’s a very promising industry, and Egypt has very large factories and promising capacities where everyone looks forward to self-sufficiency and works in this direction to reach this goal.
