Garment exporters to take part in expo
AEPC will participate in the India Tex Trend Fair (ITTF) Tokyo, Japan to be held between July 23 tio 25 with more than 200 exhibitors. The ITTF will see participation of prominent Japanese buyers and some of the iconic Japanese brands including Sumitomo Corporation, MUJI, Toyoshima, Marubeni, Mitsubishi, and Koyo trading. Indian exhibitors will display a diverse range of readymade garments, including summer and winter collections.
Chairman of AEPC Sudhir Sekhri said, “Japan is the fourth largest garment importer in the world. With Indian apparel having duty free access to Japan under Indo-Japan CEPA as against 9% duty for Turkey and 9.5% for China, it makes business sense for Indian readymade garment manufacturers and exporters to participate in ITTF and avail this unique opportunity.”
Total garment imports of Japan of $ 23 billion and India’s share was just 1.37 %. Stronger opportunities for trade diversion are emerging with continuous fall in Chinese share in this market.
