Industry responses so far reveal that disruption of production in any event was minimal caused mainly by absence of workers either due to displacement or for other reasons such as transport difficulties. A few factories suffered some physical damage but the industry overall remains resilient and strong in the face of adversity. This is good news given the fact that global apparel quotas were abolished with effected from the 1st of this month. The industry is encouraged by and is deeply appreciative of the overwhelming support received from its overseas customers. They have come forward to help the industry in particular and Sri Lanka is general by contributing to the relief effort and more importantly by assuring continuously business. The industry is confident that their backing will sustain the industry not only during the present crisis but also in the aftermath of the quota phase out. The industry is pursuing with vigour its commitment to meet the buyers' requirements. |
