Abstract

The spinning and weaving industry is one of the most important sectors of economic activities. The industrial activity began on the Tenth of Ramadan City for the spinning and weaving industry from 1980 to 2021 and it reached 420 factories. The establishment and development of the industry requires two types of factors: the main and secondary ones that are interlinked with each other. For instance, the location of the city helped in the availability of agricultural raw materials such as cotton from the governorates of Sharkia, Beheira, Dakahlia, Gharbia, Kafr El-Sheikh, Menoufia, and others. The availability of raw materials, in turn, provided laborers from the city itself from the neighboring centers and provinces.
