Damn, a little late for adding this to last post with JLH. A hint of being drawn in to the BCI** umbrella from Egyptian Cotton page, we ain't there yet.

From Egyptian Cotton site listed on last post:

Funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS) the Egyptian Cotton project is implemented by UNIDO in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture and Land Reclamation as well as with local and international textile private sector stakeholders. The project also leverages the ongoing “Cottonforlife” CSR initiative by Filmar Group co-funded by the Alexbank of the Intesa San Paolo Group

**BCI = Better Cotton Initiative®, hope springs eternal.

It may be a dna test that they're using, but it's not APDN's dna assay. You can confirm this by clicking on the link you provided and going through the list of many manufacturers.

We know that APDN has only one cotton manufacturer and that's Himatsinghka. Ergo, not APDN DNA testing.
