| SOUTHERN AFRICA: Clothing and textile industries need a rethink |
Southern African clothing and textile industries need to restrategise if they are to compete in a quota-free global market after the Multi-Fibre Agreement (MFA) expired last month, economists told IRIN.
"They should market their products regionally, availing the benefits from tariff-free zones created by the Southern African Customs Union, and those being negotiated by the Southern African Development Community," said Eckart Naumann, an economist and associate of the non-profit Trade Law Centre for Southern Africa.
Helena Claassens, an economist with the South African Textile Federation, suggested the creation of niche products focusing on African designs, and technical and industrial textiles, such as parachute fabrics, tyre cords, converter belting, filter cloth, coated fabrics, bulletproof vests, life jackets and the protective garments used in mining.
IMPACT ALREADY FELT
Countries like Lesotho and Swaziland have already been affected by the expiry of quotas under the MFA, which kept away competition from low-cost producers in the key US and European markets. Six clothing factories in Lesotho failed to reopen after the December 2004 holidays, and at least 7,000 workers are expected to lose their jobs.
The Swazi government estimates that a third of all garment industry jobs - about 15,000 - will be lost by mid-year, "because the firms have not received any order beyond that period", Naumann explained.
The MFA, introduced 30 years ago, provided protection to the textile industries of developed countries by imposing quotas on low-cost producers such as China, Korea and India. However, manufacturers in the developed world were unable to cope with the high domestic demand and began sourcing textiles from other quota-free countries in the third world.
In its study, 'Rags to Riches to Rags', the international development agency Christian Aid describes the move as "an unforeseen consequence" that allowed "poorer countries to step into the exporting breach, with the result that they could use the de facto protection of the quota system to develop their own garment trade. For some, it was the first major step towards developing a true industrial trade".
Among these beneficiary countries were Lesotho and Swaziland, whose trade with the US increased substantially after they gained preferential access to its domestic market via the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). Asian producers facing quotas shifted their operations to these African countries to take advantage of the opening, in the process creating much-needed local employment.
"From providing 15,000 jobs two or three years ago, the Asian-owned clothing industry in Lesotho has grown to become the biggest employer, employing 55,000 people," said Naumann. Lesotho is now the largest garment exporter to the US in sub-Saharan Africa.
AGOA also stimulated the economies of Namibia, Botswana, Mauritius, South Africa and Madagascar.
According to a US International Trade Commission (ITC) report, these countries' share of US apparel imports are likely to decline with the expiry of the MFA. Most southern African countries will have difficulty competing with Asia in global markets, either because their wages are high - as in South Africa and Mauritius - or because of low productivity, combined with the cost of raw materials.
Lesotho had "no domestic yarn or fabric supply", while political unrest in 2001 and 2002 in Madagascar had resulted in large disinvestments in the textile industry: "The government is trying to restart the industry, but future prospects are uncertain," the report noted.
STRONG RAND HURTS REGION
A 50 percent rise in the value of the South African rand against the US dollar had also impacted on the trade prospects of countries in the region linked to the currency, pointed out Naumann.
David Hsia, chairman of the Swaziland Textile Exporters Association, said the industry "faced a bleak future - largely because of the value of the rand, we will not be able to compete."
Countries like Lesotho and Swaziland, which depend on "third party" fabrics, will be allowed to import raw materials from non-AGOA countries for another two years. But they had not given much thought to a long-term strategy to keep the industry running, commented Naumann. "Swaziland has a sugar industry to fall back on, but Lesotho's future is quite bleak. It is too late for vertical integration [developing the capacity to produce all requirements, from the yarn to the finished garment]."
Naumann cited Namibia and Botswana as two countries in the region which had benefited from vertical integration. Starting from a single company, Namibia's textile exports expanded steadily from US $6 million in 2002 to $80 million last year. But both countries' exports would be affected by the value of the rand, he added.
The UK-based development agency, Oxfam, suggested in a paper entitled 'Stitched Up' that the "rules of origin" needed to be renegotiated.
Lessons are also to be learnt from the South African textile industry, which markets 70 percent of its production to the domestic market, setting aside only 30 percent for export. "With the development of a regional market, smaller economies like Lesotho and Swaziland could benefit."
Claassens said the federation believed that although apparel and household textiles would suffer, "technical and industrial textile manufacturing still has a bright future because of our design and invention capabilities."
In terms of design costs, South Africa was "still quite competitive", Naumann commented. The country is the leading manufacturer of parachute fabric and has even penetrated the Chinese market.
Oxfam said the developed world should provide urgent technical and financial assistance to the affected countries, whose governments in turn should provide retraining, and help retrenched workers seek alternate employment.

| Indian textile sector in running for foreign investment pie |
WITH a number of big textile players winding up manufacturing operations in the US and Europe, India figures among a handful of countries vying for the rerouting of investments and idle capacities from these companies.
According to the industry, in the quota-free textile regime, foreign players are keenly watching the sector and could, in the medium to long run, be looking at picking up equity in Indian textile firms or setting up their own manufacturing base here.
Major US textile players, including the likes of Burlington Industries, West Point Stevens, Pillowtex, Fruit-of-the-Loom and Malden Mills, have already wound-up operations during the last couple of years, while others such as Tommy Hilfiger Corporation has streamlined its production base in the US and has closed its Young Men's jeans division earlier this month. A number of big processing units in European countries have also shut shop during the last one year.
A number of these players are looking at alternate investment destinations. As Asia becomes the hub of textile production, India stands a good stead to attract some of these investments if the existing bottlenecks that prevent investment into highly labour intensive industries are ironed out, a textile sector analyst said.
While the US and European retailers are already sourcing from India in a big way, western textile manufacturers have stopped short of actually investing in manufacturing units in the country so far largely due to stringent labour laws, high exit barriers and bureaucratic hurdles. According to a Crisil estimate, the Indian textile sector needs Rs 1,40,000 crore investment across the value-chain in the next five years to exploit the post-quota opportunities. The Indian textile industry has the potential to reach a size of Rs 8,500 crore by 2010 from around Rs 3,600 crore at present provided domestic and foreign entrepreneurs pump in money, an industry analyst said.
Over the next few years, whatever remains of the US and European textile manufacturing base is predicted to be wiped-out and much of the investments could get routed to more efficient producers of textiles items. Also, sourcing arrangements in the textile sector that the US had with NAFTA countries and the EU had with East European nations, largely based on preferential access treaties, is likely to eventually come to the Asian manufacturing hub. |
| Trade deficit grows to 233.07
percent |
Pakistan's trade deficit has increased up to 233.07 per cent during the first quarter of current fiscal year.
According to Federal Bureau of Statistics figures, a 2.409 billion dollars trade deficit had been recorded in first quarter of 2004-05 as compared to 0.723 billion dollars in the same period last year.
With a 13.7 per cent decrease in textile exports, Pakistan exported textile products worth 668 million dollars in December 2004 against textile exports of 731 million dollars textile in the corresponding period last year.
Financial experts said the introduction of textile quota free regime would cast positive impacts on country's textile exports.
The Bureau said in first quarter of current fiscal year, the value of textile manufacturing decreased by 2.5 per cent, with a total textile manufacturing of 3.73 billion dollars against last year's manufacturing of 3.83 billion dollars in the same period.
The figures showed in December 2004, exports of cotton yarn reduced by 34.72 per cent, exports of cotton cloth by 19.88 per cent, nightwear products by 4.6 per cent, readymade garments by 12.67 per cent; tents, canvas by 53.5 per cent and silk and synthetic textile products by 23.46 per cent.
The figures further said an increase of 2.24 per cent had been registered in cotton cloth exports, 41.32 per cent in nightwear products, 20.19 per cent in towels, 2.98 per cent in footwear, 15.54 per cent in made-up articles dyed leather, 11.25 per cent in chemical and pharmaceutical items and engineering goods by 18.85 per cent.
The exports of leather manufacturing decreased by 12.77 per cent, surgical and medical equipment by 3.97 per cent.
During the first quarter, imports of items of metal groups increased by 49.16 per cent, petroleum products by 37.92 per cent, agricultural and chemical group by 37.49 per cent, machinery group 33.59 per cent, textile group by 24.79 per cent, food group by 17.15 per cent, iron and steel scrap by 79.41 per cent, imports of crude petroleum by 34.8 per cent and petroleum products by 40.40 per cent.
The statistics also showed an increase of 69.93 per cent upsurge in textile machinery imports, 42.08 per cent in agricultural machinery, office machine including grate-processing equipment by 11.27 per cent and power generating machinery by 19.44 per cent.
