Catalysts for exponential growth

• Buoyant Domestic economy

• Substantial increase in cotton production

• Government Policies– TUFS– Quotas– Expiration of MFA on 31st Dec’ 2004

Problems and Challenges

• Sickness• Obsolete Technology• Cotton grown per hectare of land is

very low• Competition from man-made fibers

AGREEMENTS RELATED TO TEXTILES

•On January 1st 1974, the Arrangement Regarding the International Trade in Textiles known as the MFA came into force.

•Non-Tariff Barriers

• Short –term agreement

•Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC)

MULTI FIBER AGREEMENT (MFA)

POST MFA/ ATC SCENARIO In 1993, a study found that the price of cotton yarn per kilo

was cheapest in India at US$ 2.79

In US textile and apparel imports, China and Hong Kong had higher market shares than India.

The effect of trade liberalization on India : increased output employment increased profits

GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES

• Introduced on 1999 •To overcome technological obsolescence and create economies of scale

•Transition from quantitatively restricted textiles trade to market-driven global merchandise •Crucial for all the inter-connecting sectors such as spinning, weaving, knitting, processing and garmenting

TUFS

MONEY SANCTIONED UNDER TUFS

• Launched to create new textile parks of international standards.

• Merging of APE & TCIDS• Objective: to provide the industry with world-

class infrastructure .

European Union-An important export destination

There are tremendous opportunities. As per FICCI India’s trade volume with each country can easily de doubled in less than three year.– Uniform trade regulations.– A uniform duty structure.– Common technical specification.

In those countries that have joined the EU there is a big possibility of entering into joint ventures as well as outsourcing services from these countries.

Good time to set up representative offices in these countries and undertake tailor-made marketing campaigns.

Strategies to enter into EU

Invest in research and development.

India needs to move from the lower-end markets.

The government also needs to make policy changes like dereserving the small-scale sector.

Handlooms by their very nature can adopt a strategy of “niche” marketing.

Need for a cradle-to-grave approach.

Efficiency and output of handloom and power loom sectors also needs to be increased.
