Egypt - Industry
Industry accounted for 30% of GDP in 2001. Major
industrial products included textiles, chemicals (including
fertilizers, polymers, and petrochemicals), pharmaceuticals,
food processing, petroleum, construction, cement, metals,
and light consumer goods. The clothing and textiles sector is
the largest industrial employer. Greater Cairo, Alexandria, and
Helwan are Egypt's main industrial centers, producing iron and
steel, textiles, refined petroleum products, plastics, building
materials, electronics, paper, trucks and automobiles, and
chemicals. The Helwan iron and steel plant, 29 km (18 mi)
south of Cairo, using imported coke, processes iron ore mined
near Aswan into sheets, bars, billets, plates, and blooms. The
petroleum industry accounts for 40% of export earnings.
