Based on the most recent data from 2024, the top imports to the United States from Egypt by value are: Articles of apparel, knit or crocheted ($784.09 Million) Articles of apparel, not knit or crocheted ($456.36 Million) Fertilizers ($175.59 Million) Iron and steel ($169.78 Million) Vegetable, fruit, nut food preparations ($139.95 Million) Here's a look at which states in the U.S. have manufacturing in these sectors, along with examples of companies: Apparel (Knit and Non-Knit): The U.S. has a significant textile and apparel manufacturing industry, although it has faced global competition. Key states include:   North Carolina: A historical center for textile manufacturing. Companies like Unifi Manufacturing (Greensboro) produce yarns and fibers. While large-scale garment production has shifted overseas, some specialized and niche manufacturing remains.   South Carolina: Similar to North Carolina, with a history in textiles and ongoing efforts in advanced textile manufacturing. California: Focuses on fashion-forward apparel and niche garment production, with many smaller design and manufacturing houses in Los Angeles. Companies include American Apparel (though it has faced challenges and restructuring, the brand still exists under Gildan Activewear).   Georgia: Has a significant carpet and textile industry, which relates to knitted and non-knitted fabric production. Companies like Shaw Industries (Dalton) are major players in flooring.   Fertilizers: The U.S. is a major producer of various types of fertilizers. Key states include: Louisiana: Has significant chemical and fertilizer production due to its access to natural gas and waterways. Companies like Mosaic Company and Nutrien have operations in the state.   Florida: Also a major hub for phosphate mining and fertilizer production, with companies like Mosaic having a strong presence.   Texas: Has a large petrochemical industry that supports fertilizer production. Companies such as CF Industries operate in Texas.   Iowa: A significant agricultural state with fertilizer production facilities.   Iron and Steel: The U.S. has a well-established iron and steel industry, although it has also faced international competition. Key states include:   Pennsylvania: A historical heartland of the U.S. steel industry. Companies like U.S. Steel and Nucor have significant operations.   Indiana: Has a strong presence in steel production. Nucor and Steel Dynamics have facilities in Indiana.   Ohio: Another key state in steel manufacturing, with numerous steel mills and related industries.   Illinois: Has a substantial steel production sector. Vegetable, Fruit, Nut Food Preparations: This is a broad category, and manufacturing occurs in many states depending on the specific type of preparation and the agricultural resources available. Examples include: California: A leading producer of processed fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Companies like Del Monte Foods and various cooperatives operate in the state. Washington: Known for fruit processing, particularly apples and berries.   Oregon: Also significant in fruit and vegetable processing. Florida: Focuses on citrus processing and other fruit and vegetable preparations. Many other states have regional food processing companies that handle local agricultural produce. It's important to note that while the U.S. can manufacture goods similar to those imported from Egypt, the scale and specific types of products may differ. Global supply chains are often integrated, with raw materials or intermediate goods being sourced from various countries. Additionally, cost competitiveness can play a significant role in import decisions.   Interestingly, there are also U.S. companies with manufacturing operations in Egypt, which include major players like General Motors, Procter & Gamble, PepsiCo, and Kraft Heinz, indicating a two-way flow of manufacturing and investment. A recent partnership between the U.S. firm Dawah Pharmaceuticals and Egyptian Gypto Pharma aims to establish new pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in Egypt using American technology.
