Jeansland podcast on cotton traders and Egypt

07/01/2026
Andrew Olah is opening the new year with his take on commodity traders, a lesser known facet of the denim industry. He presents an overview of the main trading companies, Louis Dreyfus, Cargill, Olam, and Ecom, and how their ownership has evolved over the years from family-ownership to investment by sovereign wealth funds. A concise and dense overview of the companies that control today’s trade in cotton as well as energy. 

Andrew then shifts the discussion to the potential of Egypt as a new sourcing country as it builds up both a fabric and a garment-making infrastructure. It presents, he says, a positive vision of future growth for the denim industry.
