cotton industry
Cotton is a tropical plant.
It is a self-pollinating perennial plant, dicotyledonous, and belongs to the Malvacea family.
It is a small shrub that requires fertile soil and good irrigation in order to grow well and become of high quality.
It is planted during the spring season, and the harvest is during the autumn season.
The Sudanese cotton industry requires several steps:
First: the harvest, where farmers harvest the cotton crop through machines or manually
Second: Khaleej, i.e. clearing the cotton flower of its seeds and separating them from them, through a special device that performs this task.
And extracted from those seeds seed oil or French oil, which is used in some of the food industry and in the manufacture of soap
