International Cotton Congress in Cairo - 5 millieme

This stamp commemorates a milestone in Egypt's mid-century economic development, cash-crop dominance, and global trade integration: the International Cotton Congress held in Cairo in 1927. The subject focuses entirely on a botanical illustration of a flourishing cotton branch (Gossypium barbadense), showcasing the high-quality, long-staple Egyptian cotton that served as the absolute cornerstone of the nation's agricultural wealth and industrial prestige.
