Sector specific government policy & strategies to transform F P & M sector • The strategy for the Clothing & Textiles sub-sector is based on six key pillars: • Investment and technology • Upgrading the skills base • Improving innovation and design capacity • Improving firm-level competitiveness • Improving weak value chains • Addressing trade distortions, illegal imports and volatile exchange rates
Sector specific government policy & strategies to transform F P & M sector • Footwear & Leather strategy calls for domestic firms to increase their competitiveness by investing in new technology and capital equipment, decreasing costs and investing in marking, design and product innovation. The strategy suggests that firms improve soft competitiveness variables such as delivery times, quality, reliability and flexibility to meet value-chain buyers demands. Only non-generic strategy element is the idea of a “Shared Resource Centre” - access to skills, technology, design improvement, cost cutting improvements would be centrally available and individual firms could access these when required.
