Members of the P KwaZulu-Natal organization have benefited from the implementation of the textile and clothing competitiveness program (CTCP). The Organization recommends that member companies need to analyze the air freight costs of textile and apparel and do more research on supply chain solutions.

These studies include the certification of information technology systems and customs import procedures.

"These details are important, because this is a key factor in the competition between our apparel industry and other competitors around the world and cost savings," Knight said.

The CTCP plan includes the two parts of the production incentive plan and the competitiveness enhancement plan. It is supported by the Ministry of industry and trade of South Africa and has been implemented in some member companies of KwaZulu-Natal organization. It is committed to promoting the advantages of local retailers member companies in improving product production, processing and logistics efficiency, and promoting their member companies to enhance their competitiveness through professional training and experience exchange.

< p > Knight said that the management department of clothing and textile industry must support the operation of the supply chain and execute it in person.

The business sector has not always attached great importance to this field, often the Department to third party management, so this business competition is fierce.

He encourages Member companies to share costs, such as pportation costs, cost of quality control systems and other costs, which may make the operation of the supply chain more efficient and convenient.

< p > it is learnt that Allwear, Celrose clothing, Durban Overall, Eddels, Zorbate and Saddler Belts & Leather Craft have been supported by the Ministry of industry and trade.

Two weeks ago, South Africa's minister of trade and industry, Rob Davis, in Thornton, Johannesburg, said that through the implementation of the 2013~2014 industrial policy organization plan, South Africa's clothing, textiles, "a target=" _blank "href=" http://www.91se91.com/ "leather" /a "and" a target= "_blank" href= "" _blank "," shoes "and" industrial development "have been changed.

He said: "the competitiveness enhancement plan will prevent the employment rate from falling, and has created 12205 new job opportunities."

< p > it is understood that retailers have also begun to purchase locally to support the development of local textile and garment manufacturing industry.

One example is the Foschini group's reduction plan, and Prestige Clothing also took part in the CTCP plan.

It is understood that at present, the South African Trade and industrial sector has helped 469 textile, clothing and footwear enterprises through the program.

The Department said that in the next 3 years, the output of shoes companies will grow from 52 million pairs to 100 million pairs.

< p > local retailers promise to purchase locally as much as possible to local manufacturers.

The KwaZulu-Natal industry cluster has built up projects through capacity, which has helped 9 companies to enhance their competitiveness through professional training and inter industry communication.

Mike Wood, chairman of KwaZulu-Natal, said the project will last 4 years, while KwaZulu-Nata's local textile and garment industry cluster will last for 2 years.

< p > Wood hopes that in the next 2 years, textile and garment enterprises can make more improvements.

"Many enterprises in South Africa are now trying to give up competition with their rivals, especially those from Asia," he said.

But local clothing companies know more about local consumer demand than international companies. This is their advantage, which means they will be able to provide better services for the market in the future.
