MFA : 2006, not 2005 the crisis era
Will 2005 be the most critical period in Sri Lanka's apparel industry after textile quotas end? Not so, believes the Joint Apparel Association Forum (JAAF). This group of apparel associations believes 2006 would be the most critical year as quotas already issued would take care of next year’s needs.

Read all about this and other garment industry issues in the fourth issue of the special section titled "Countdown to phasing out of the MFA" in The Sunday Times FT next week.

The theme this month is "Need for a coordinated effort between the industry, government, workers, trade unions and buyers to handle the phasing out process."
