Government Support For Kenya Textile And Garment Industry

Kenya

The textile sector claims that the lack of government support has pushed the textile sector to a desperate end.

The practitioners of cotton value chain require the government to provide incentives to promote the competitiveness of the industry in the domestic and international markets.

Despite the success in the past, the textile industry in Kenya is now under pressure due to rising production costs and the influx of secondhand garments through imports.

This is a recent search for development.

Spin

The Symposium on industrial value chain was introduced.

This symposium is trying to find ways to improve the institutional capacity of textile companies, which will help industry improve productivity and penetrate new markets by promoting specialization in industry.

In addition, Kenya can acquire knowledge from the development experience of Mauritius's textile industry.

The textile industry has become one of the main pillars of Mauritius's economy.

In order to reduce unemployment in Mauritius, an export processing zone was established by the government of Mauritius in 1971.

Since then, the garment industry in Mauritius has changed dramatically. At present, it has a relatively high skilled labor force and effective management practices.

Despite being able to enter the domestic and provincial markets, Kenya still faces difficulties in developing the competitiveness of the textile and garment industry.

The government of Kenya cut down second-hand clothing last year.

Import duty

Domestic textile producers say the move will destroy local industries.

This symposium will be organized once a year, which will promote the competitiveness of Kenya textiles, enhance the value orientation of the supply chain, increase productivity, improve quality and product distribution capabilities.
