The garment export sector in Bangladesh which accounts for a major chunk of exports from the country has taken umbrage to the fact that the government is not doing enough to promote exports of clothing from the country to South Africa.
Recounting his visit to South Africa, Mr Fazlul Hoque, President of Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BKMEA) raised doubts on the ability of just two men in the Bangladesh embassy in South Africa to promote their products.
He demanded of the government to appoint a Commercial Counselor in South Africa who can work on harnessing the potential of the Bangladeshi garment sector.
According the chief of BKMEA, Bangladeshi apparels account for only 4.3 percent of the South African $1.2 billion annual imports, while it is 70 percent from China, 5.5 percent from Mauritius and 4.7 percent from India.
He said, there is ample scope to export textile fabrics along with T-shirts, sweaters, cotton trousers, basic shirts and jeans, which are the most-favoured items in South Africa.
The value of Bangladesh garments that were exported to South Africa in fiscal year 2008-09 is $43 million, but it is possible to reach around $500 million apparel exports in the next two years, he added by saying.
He identified 40 percent duty and 14 percent value added tax (VAT) as impediments in apparel exports to South Africa, but the Director of Textile Office in South Africa has assured all help to bring down the tariffs, he said.

UK : Burberry achieves further strategic progress in H1 - Fashion News UK
Burberry Group plc, the global luxury company, today reports on trading for the six months to 30 September 2009.
Angela Ahrendts, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “Having completed a strong second quarter, Burberry delivered a solid first half revenue performance. During the period, we achieved further strategic progress, highlighted by good non-apparel growth, the strengthening of our position in Japan and continued brand investment, as demonstrated by Burberry's return to London Fashion Week. In this uncertain environment, the team at Burberry remains focused on executing to capitalise on all available opportunities.”
Total sales in the first half declined by 5% at constant exchange rates, up 6% reported. Retail sales increased by 14% on an underlying basis, while wholesale revenue declined by 23%, in line with guidance.
Non-apparel, especially handbags and small leather goods, performed well, driven by innovation in the iconic programmes. Burberry further reduced inventory levels during the half, partly reflecting lower procurement as well as stronger full price sales in the second quarter (which helped gross margin).
There has been a significant improvement in the cash position since the year-end. The global cost efficiency programme, announced in January 2009, was fully implemented during the first half.
Retail
Retail sales, which accounted for over 50% of total revenue in the first half, increased by 14% on an underlying basis (up 27% reported). New space generated 8% of this growth and Burberry Middle East contributed 4%.
Comparable store sales grew by 2% in the first half (Q1: flat; Q2: +5%). The acceleration in the second quarter was due primarily to a positive response from consumers to the Autumn/Winter 2009 collection, especially non-apparel and casual outerwear. By region, first half comparable store sales in Europe and Asia remained up double-digit, while the United States and Spain were down double-digit. The UK and Korea were again the best performing markets (with spending boosted by favourable currency movements).
In the first half, Burberry opened nine mainline stores including its first flagship store in Singapore (Ion Orchard) and one in Omotesando, Tokyo (previously under franchise), which is the first store operated within the luxury non-apparel joint venture. Six mainline stores were closed as part of the global cost efficiency programme. Overall in the first half, there was a 12% net increase in average selling space year-on-year.
Wholesale
Wholesale revenue for the first half of the year declined, as planned, by 23% on an underlying basis (down 15% reported). Of the underlying decline, 10% resulted from Burberry’s own actions, including the closure of Thomas Burberry, the rationalisation of small specialty accounts in Europe and the conversion of Burberry Middle East from wholesale to retail. The balance (-13%) resulted from wholesale customers in all regions who, as projected, adjusted their inventory levels for Autumn/Winter 2009 in line with anticipated lower sales trends.

India : State-of-the-art textile park to be setup in Tamil Nadu - Textile News India
A new state of the art textile park and the first of the 40 proposed to be set up across the country, by the textile ministry, is planned to be set up in Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu at an investment of Rs 5 billion and is likely to generate 5,000 jobs.
This was revealed by the President of the South India Mills Association (SIMA), Mr Thulasitharan, after meeting the Union Textile Minister, Mr Dayanidhi Maran, along with a delegation of SIMA members in Chennai.
The textile park which will also have a 15 mega watt power plant was proposed to be set up earlier, but owing to then economic situation and because clearances from the Union environment and forest ministry would consume time, the project was given up.
