The main players in the world textile market and the importance of the cotton market. Customer Mainly from Asia, China accounts for a large proportion.

　　 Africa Southeast Asian countries cotton As exports continue to increase, the southeastern region has the most dynamic textile industry in Africa and is also an important cotton producing area.

Meanwhile, African clothing manufacturers are overwhelmed by imports from Asia, but they can only survive in niche markets.

The textile industry in southeastern Africa is also the weakest link in the cotton, textile and clothing value chain in the region. The main constraints are the lack of power supply, the lack of economic scale and the differentiation of regional markets.

Asian investors have brought advanced technology and management methods to Southeast African countries, helping to improve local production processes, even though they are on a relatively small scale.

At present, the pilot project tries to transfer the large-scale garment production process from Asia to southeast Africa, but the sustainability of this effort is not yet clear.

The modernization of Africa has just begun to enter a new stage, and the success of African modernization, and China's investment in Africa is very important. It can be used to promote innovation in Africa and to stimulate Africa's economic potential.
