Huge potential to increase exports of man-made fibre garments: AEPC

There is a huge potential in the country to increase exports of man-made fibre garments and the industry needs to work with the government to push these shipments, the Apparel Export Promotion Council said on Friday. Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC) Chairman A Sakthivel said that “when we started exploring how to increase exports, we found that the export of man-made fibre garments is only 10 per cent of our total exports”. It is hardly USD 1.6 billion whereas the world trade is about USD 200 billion, he added.
