A.
TEXTILE AND CLOTHING IN BRAZIL
The
growing importance of the textile industry in the Brazilian
economy can be better understood taking a look at the latest
figures. Presently, the sector comprises more than 30 thousand
companies and employs approximately 1.5 million Brazilian
workers.
This
unique market has attracted exporters from many countries, in
the same way the country itself exports a considerable volume. In 2001,
the total turnover of the sector was of US$ 22,7 billon and
both imports and exports surmounted US$ 1 billion each.
Intensely
investing in the domestic production, the textile sector has
been making continuous investments in technology. It's estimated
that at least US$ 1 billion is invested every year (ANBA).
