The Mhardeh cotton ginnery in Hama resumed operations on 30 September after four years out of service, SANA reported on 7 October. The facility receives raw cotton from eastern provinces and can process about 12 tonnes per shift, with a second shift possible depending on crop volumes. Two other ginneries, Al-Assi in Hama and Tishreen in Aleppo, are also operating; high costs and water shortages remain sector challenges.
